  Hi,
  I am new to WordPress and, first of all, excuse me for having made a mistake due to inexperience.
  I opened, with another user name, a site called “comitatoroma13.wordpress.com”. I got aware that I needed to have this domain managed from another user name (and email), so I deleted it, hoping shortly after to open it with the other email (I have read the warning “delete the domain names you think you won’t use but can be useful to others” or something similar).
  Unfortunately, it seems that comitatoroma13.wordpress.com is no more available and there is no other way to get it back, unless I contact the former owner.
  Now, since the former owner is myself, how can I release the blog name and activate it under my actual user name?

  Thank you and sorry for the mistake.

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

  Hi there,

  No problem, we’re happy to help :)

  Take a look at this post: https://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  Once you’ve deleted a blog, its related address is no longer available to use. Just to quote:

  Addresses (URLs) for blogs that have been deleted by the owner will remain deleted. We cannot, under any circumstances, allow someone to take over the address of a blog that was owned and deleted by its original/previous owner.

  If there’s any way you can think of a new, original address to restart your blog with, that’s probably the best option. Hope that helps!
