  I deleted a blog… and now I want to release the url for it. I didn’t really think about it before I deleted it. Is there anyway that wordpress.com support can delete my deleted blog and set the url free?

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

  That’s not the blog. The blog is http://bluetundrasucks.wordpress.com

  You can’t, sorry: the blog (with the URL) are gone. Forever.

  Deleting a site permanently removes it and you’ll never be able to reuse its WordPress.com address (such as yourgroovysite.wordpress.com).

  Fortunately, there is an infinite supply of unused blog addresses, so our policy should not limit your address selection. Note that if you add a custom domain for use with your blog, the original ‘wordpress.com’ domain/URL is never visible to your readers for as long as the custom domain is used on your blog.

  The problem is I want the url to be deleted, it’s not about reusing it. Do you think if I bought premium I could get a wordpress support to do a one time exception?

  Nope. There is no exceptions on this.

  The option is add a custom domain, see my last response:
