Removing duplicate blog
-
I changed my Blog name and now it creates a duplicate of it. There’s one I have change the name to xxx_old but I am not sure if it’s safe to delete it. Would need your help to verify.
Blog url: http://simianangelo.wordpress.com/The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

This is the blog after changing BLOG URL and site title http://feelurheart.wordpress.com/
Strange thing is the original blog’s theme has been changed to the new theme automatically and given a new life there.
Both blogs do not have content yet.

I’m not sure what you mean. The only blogs that I see on your account are:
http://feelurheart.wordpress.com/
http://simianangelo.wordpress.com/
And, one that starts with a ‘t’ marked as private.

Here’s the story.
Initially, I have http://simianangelo.wordpress.com/
In my dashboard, I changed http://simianangelo.wordpress.com/’s URL to http://feelurheart.wordpress.com/
This ended up the old one (http://simianangelo.wordpress.com/) content and theme is marked as http://feelurheart.wordpress.com/. Then I notice http://simianangelo.wordpress.com/ still exist with the same content but with a different theme. -
That is pretty much how the change URL process works.
You do have the option to just clone the content and keep the old blog alive.
If you’d like me to, I can empty the content on http://simianangelo.wordpress.com/
Alternatively, you can delete it too: http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/

Oh my! I just did this too! When I created a new blog, I accidentally created two. I’m afraid deleting one may delete both. They have the same URL, neither has any content:
Blog 1 (the blog I wish to keep): http://poligrafi.wordpress.com/
Blog 2 (the accident): http://polygrafi.wordpress.com/
What to do? Can I delete the accident blog, or do I need someone at WordPress to do it?
Thanks!

re: Blog 2 (the accident): http://polygrafi.wordpress.com/
I would not delete the blog. I always suggest bloggers make the blog “private” because they may want to use it again one day in the future, or may want to use it as a backup blog, and deleted blog URLs here are not recycled. That’s why it takes ignoring 3 warnings and then clicking a verfication link in an email in order to delete a blog.
