  Hi, I understand that once a blog is deleted, the web address will not be available for 2 years. However, I realised that I still need the blog’s address I deleted. I really need the web address, how can I get it back?

  Hi there,
  It’s too bad that you did not take the multiple warnings required to delete a site seriously because deletion is meant to be permanent and irreversible.

  I really need the web address, how can I get it back?

  You can’t. Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and the only exceptions are made are for URLs that were deleted 2 or more years ago. http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  You can register another .wordpress.com blog http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/

  Then if you wish to you can register a domain via a domain mapping upgrade because it does not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is when you are domain mapping.
