  I have two of my blogs (that I wish to erase) registered to a old email account that I no longer have any access to. How do I do to get the link that you send to that account when i try to delete the blog?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi, which sites would you like to delete that you’re not able to get the verification email for?

  To get the email you can always change the email address on your account here.

  Hi Catherine, I see that you already set both blogs to Private, so you are the only person who’d be able to view their content.

  If the email address on your account is out of date, you can update it here: https://wordpress.com/#!/settings/

  Then, you’ll be able to delete the blogs, if that’s what you’d like to do, following the steps described here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/

  Hello, I would like to delete them, but like I said in the first post:

  “I have two of my blogs (that I wish to erase) registered to a old email account that I no longer have any access to. How do I do to get the link that you send to that account when i try to delete the blog?”

  My account is registered to the right e-mail adress, but the blogs (here http://xkmswlfdjlgkl.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-general.php) are not, they are registered to an old email that I no longer have access to, when I try to change that e-mail address to my current one, it sends a verification email to the OLD adress, that I cant access, and therefore I cant confirm the change of e-mail address, hence not change the a-mail adress connected to the blogs and therefore not delete them. Can you help me?

  I’ve gone ahead and deleted both sites for you.

  User accounts can’t be deleted, but you can take some steps outlined here:
