    Hello @bcgray100

    You can remove a user from your WordPress.com site using these steps:
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#removing-users

    Note that you also have the option of changing their role:
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#changing-user-roles

    However, on visiting https://kcosa.wordpress.com it shows as deleted. Was this intentional?

    Hope this helps.

    If the person in question was the owner of a blog, they can’t be removed but must transfer the blog to another owner.

    This shows a problem with multiple Admin’s – better to have people Editors – they can still delete content, but can’t delete the blog name

    If the blog was deleted as noted above the name and content is gone forever. You can try search engine cache’s or the internet archive or WayBack Machine

    Thanks for your advice and help, and that is all we asked our lady to do as well. Was to just ask you folks for help in removing herself from our Seniors site, as she had resigned from our group.

    She then proceeded to remove our Seniors site and the hundreds of hours of content we put into it. Plus now it seems we can not even get back our https://kcosa.wordpress.com name from WordPress, and its links.

    This action has hurt over 2,000 of our areas vulnerable seniors. This was their contact to the world, and its now gone.

    Is there anyone at WordPress that we could contact to help us?

    Again Thanks for your time it is truly appreciated.

    Hi @bcgray100,

    The user you mentioned was the owner of the site. As such, they’re permitted to delete any and all content including deleting the entire site. Unfortunately, there isn’t anything we can do here as the user was listed as the owner of the site.

    I Thank-You for your prompt and courteous response, even though it is not one we were hoping for.

    2,000 vulnerable seniors in the BC Interior just lost all their collective works, photo,s and comments. More importantly they lost their only link to the web for most, through no fault of there own, or WordPress.

    The blame lies solely at this ladies feet. We do not blame WordPress, just hoped there was a recovery method, even in getting the KCOSA name back for a web site with WordPress. We were linked to numerous other Senior and Government sites through that easily typed name.

    I also apologize for making two threads, the first kinda morphed into the second.

    Again Thank-You for your time
