  I deleted my blog, I understand the data is gone but I did back it up. Is it possible to create a new empty blog using the same address again?

  I’m sorry but the answer is “no”. Deleted blog URLs are not recycled here. Confirm by reading:

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

  Or you can register a domain vis a domain mapping upgrade and it will not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is.
