  I accidentally deleted my website mlspanishhonorsociety.wordpress.com TODAY thinking that I could start over while still using the same site address. As I read around, I found out that this is not possible, but I did read that if I contact the Happy Engineers within 30 days of the site deletion, I can recover the site address. So can someone do that for me please? Thank you.

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

  The easiest way to start again is to just empty your site of content. Until quite recently deleting a site wasn’t reversible. Now there is a 30 day window before your deleted site is completely removed from the WordPress.com servers and staff can recover a deleted site during this period. Although the title of your thread is clear enough I have added the modlook tag to ensure a member of staff assists you.
