  I wish to remove a site from wordpress.com dashboard. I have no access to that site (I think it is no longer live, don’t know what owner did with it!)

  Which site would you like to remove?

  Thanks for the response. Not sure how to answer. I am an admin for several WP sites (self-hosted) and they appear on my wordpress.com dashboard where I can check the sites, traffic etc. One of the sites is no longer alive AFAIK (owner took over, but left me as admin as well) so the site appears among my sites on the dashboard. I want to remove it (I guess remove myself from being its “shepherd”)…

  Hope this makes sense.

  Right, we can remove the site for you, but we need to know exactly which one. :)

  What is the URL of the site?

  What is the URL of the site that appears in the browser address bar when you visit it? That URL should also show in the WordPress.com dashboard if you go to My Site ->Switch Site.

  I figured it out via the switch. First I removed my user name. Then switch. Then the site was no longer my list of sites in the dashboard.

  Many thanks.

  It is a bit of a chase to manage, seems like should be more intuitive.
