    Hello! I created an acc a while ago with an email I lost because I was not logged in for a long time and I forgot the password of thet wordpress account. Now I created this one but I was wondering if I recover what I had on my other blog or at least delete it so I can use the same username. Thank you so much.

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

    Hi @ilongeac

    Can you please share blog address or username of the account which you are planning to recover?

    Hello! I created an acc a while ago with an email I lost because I was not logged in for a long time and I forgot the password of thet wordpress account.

    If you don’t remember your login credentials of your previous WordPress account and you still have access to the email account, then you can try our Password Reset Process explained in our support document here.

    Now I created this one, but I was wondering if I recover what I had on my other blog or at least delete it so I can use the same username. Thank you so much.

    Once you have recovered your previous account and (If you want the previous username, not the previous blog address) then it would be better to invite your previous username to your current blog ilohorseblog.wordpress.com and assign the role of Administrator as you own both accounts.

    To know more about user role and how to invite another user/ Add users to your blog please refer to these support documentations.

    1. https://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/
    2. https://en.support.wordpress.com/adding-users/

    Please note that once you delete a username, you won’t be able to use it again as the deleted usernames are blocked from being registered again, to prevent impersonation.

    I hope this helps

    Let me know if you have questions further.

    Hello!
    Thank you for the answer. The account I want to recover is IloHorse on which I had a blog ilohorse.worpress.com and which was registered on the email (email visible only to moderators and staff) but that email account got deleted.
    Thank you so much!
