  Hello,
  
  I just tried to look for a wordpress.com address “littlemauiislandhumantouch.wordpress.com” (Web A) and it is shown that the address has been deleted. I suspected that I registered this free address in the past and then deleted the site. I wonder if it is possible for me to use this web address and migrate the whole current “littlemauiisland.wordpress.com” (Web B) to under this web “littlemauiislandhumantouch.wordpress.com” (Web A) address?
  
  After migration, I would like to keep “littlemauiisland.wordpress.com” (Web B) this address.
  
  Is it possible to do so? Thank you very much.

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

  If it was deleted more than a month ago there is no chance of it ever being recovered, and the site address cannot be re-used on wordpress.com. If it was less than a month then staff can recover it for you, and you would be able to transfer the content, so let us know how long ago it was. Thank you.

  After a month WordPress purge the content of deleted blogs, and the site address cannot be used ever again. If you need the content of the deleted blog you may be able to find it on the Wayback Machine which is an internet archive.

  I should also have added, if you just want the name, you could pay for that domain name, but for a free blog you cannot use the name again.
