Remove Original Administrator?
-
Hello, I used this account (duelingdrabbles) to make my new wordpress blog, Alpacamunch. But I don’t want that site attached to this username. Alpacamunch has another admin account also owned by me (the username is also alpacamunch). Can you please delete duelingdrabbles as administrator, and leave the user account alpacamunch as the only admin of the blog Alpacamunch? Thank you!!
For reference, when I try to remove this account myself, I get the same error as this person: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/remove-the-original-adminstrator?replies=2
Any help would be appreciated!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
It’s not possible to remove the user who created a site. Instead, you need to transfer ownership of the site from one username to the other.
To transfer ownership, open this link:
https://alpacamunch.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=my-blogs
If you hover your mouse over the site title you’ll see a Transfer Blog link. Click that and enter the username of the other account. Once you confirm it will transfer ownership to that account, and remove this account as a user on the site.
Note that this cannot be reversed, so please make sure you enter the correct username when making the transfer.
