  Hi!

  As I am completely new to wordpress I made a small mistake I would like to get undone.

  I made a site with the following domainname. capturingthewild.wordpress.com

  I decided to delete it for certain reasons but I changed my mind and would like to use it anyway. Ofcourse now I cant choose that name anymore because it is somehow already in use.

  Is it possible to use capturingthewild.wordpress.com again?

  Thanks!
  Tom

  Hi There,
  Here is a support site that can give you some information on deleted domains. Since you were the owner previously, there may be something that staff could be able to do for you, but there is never a guarantee.

  I have tagged your post for staff to see if they can assist you!
  Thanks

  @capturingthewild @jenlynnemc Site deletion is permanent and removes both the site content and the site address which cannot be recovered or reactivated. This is explained all along the multi-step process of deletion. You’ll need to register a new address. https://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/
