  Hi,

  I have two accounts on wordpress

  One of theme had 2 blogs ; but i decided to delete one of them because of probleme of author.
  Everithing is right about it. I received the confirmation that it was deleted

  I create a second account to re-create a new blog ; exactly the same I deleted with a new username but , Id’like to use the deleted adress blog ; But when I tried, I got a message who tell me that the adress is already exisiting !! ( it is the one I just deleted ?!? )
  Is there a solution to use it anyway ?

  Thanks for your time,

  Julien

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

  Oh no! You ignored all the warnings and it’s too late now.

  You cannot register any deleted blog URL. To prevent accidental or inadvertent deletion of blogs, there are multiple warnings given that blog deletion is permanent and irreversible. Lastly, a verification link is sent in an email and it must be clicked to delete a blog. If clicking that link does not work then copy and paste it into your upper browser window and click. Once the verification link for deletion is clicked the blog URL is forever gone, gone, gone.

  Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made.

  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.
