To empty the site content and start over using the same URL ie. blog address you have two options:
(1) Doing this quickly and easily yourself http://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/
(2) Waiting in a queue and having Staff do it for you.

If you have lots of content, Staff can empty the whole blog for you. That will remove all data including posts, pages, tags, categories, comments, and uploaded files and once deleted, the data cannot be recovered.

If you are sure you want Staff to proceed, and you are prepared to wait then type modlook into the tags in the sidebar of this thread for Staff attention, and post here again to:
(1) confirm the URL of the blog you want them to empty;
(2) confirm that you know content deletion is irreversible.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting public blogs and/or blog content from them or making them private does not remove indexed content from the SERPs (search engine page results). Google and Bing only clear their caches of deleted indexed content that produces a 404 (page not found) every 3 – 6 months. To completely remove an entire page from Google search results after it produces a 404 (page not found):

Hi there,

Our support page can assist you in this process.
If you have tons of content on your blog, we can do it for you, but you can accomplish clearing your site fairly easily with bulk actions whenever you’re ready.

Are you wanting your theme reverted to its original layout as well? If so, I can go ahead and empty the site and reset the theme for you.

Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,

Hi there,

Is it possible to get the owner of the account to post in this thread to confirm that they want the site cleared? I see that you are an administrator, but not the creator and owner – just want to make sure they are okay with the emptying.

Let me know, thanks!

The owner/creator is no longer with the organization.

Well, I am advised not to delete the content completely without the owner’s consent. You can go ahead and try it on your end by following the instructions here:

http://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/

It should be a fairly quick process.

If you would like, I can contact the email associated with the site and see if the owner would like for me to transfer ownership. Let me know if that works. Thanks!
