  A couple of years ago, I deleted the blog <themadinspirationalist.wordpress.com> and now I am wondering if I can reuse this domain. This is a blog I made and I deleted and I want to know if I am able to reuse the address I had before.

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

  Hi there,

  If it has been two or more years since deletion and does not have any username or other technical conflicts, then it may become available again.

  If you go here https://wordpress.com/start/survey and it allows you to register that address, then it is available to be used. Read further about recycling blog addresses: https://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  Hello! What do you mean by username conflicts?

  I’m not sure of all the reasons there could be a conflict. I do know that when someone signs up for an account, the URL of their username is reserved, too. Also, If a username is changed at some point, then that username becomes unavailable for use.

  Username Accounts cannot be deleted completely. It is set up that way to prevent someone else from gaining access to your account and pretending to be you.
