  Dear Team!
  Several days ago I created the virtualismenekultek.wordpress.com site and tried to move an existing blog there. I was not too good at configuring, so instead of applying new themes, I delete dthe sire and created new one.
  Now I have virtualismenekultek451129884.wordpress.com with proper look, and tried to rename it to the deleted virtualismenekultek.wordpress.com site. But it says that name is not available.

  How would it be possible to do this rename? The virtualismenekultek.wordpress.com no longer exist.

  When you delete a site you get several warnings the domain can not be used again. Let’s wait to see if a Staff member is able to restore your deleted site.

  Oh, thank you!
  Then I misunderstood it completely: I thought the site itself will not be usable again (the content), not the URL.

  Dear Staff members, could you please try to restore my previous virtualismenekultek.wordpress.com site?
  Thank you for your efforts in advance!

  Hi there,

  I was able to successfully restore your deleted blog. Please note that this is usually not possible, and there are many clear warnings throughout the deletion process.

  Be very careful with that delete button in the future! :)

  Cheers,

  Ohh, thank you VERY much!
  I promise I will be more careful next time. :)
  There is one good reason why it worth deleting it: I could get a first-hand info about the support for WordPress. It seems it is even better then my online bank. :)

  Wish you a great day!
