  I need to have a clean start in my life in some aspect. I have chosen to wipe the website clean and pretend I am really emailing my boss; quitting my job, leaving my debt, going to an abandoned island to live as a hermit.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Sorry I didn’t know people would see this, I thought it was going to tech support. How do I reset my site?

  You have two options for clearing site content:
  (1) Doing this quickly and easily yourself via bulk deletion http://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/
  (2) Waiting in a queue and having Staff do it for you.

  If you have a lot of content Staff can empty the whole blog for you. That will remove all data including posts, pages, tags, categories, comments, and uploaded files and once deleted, the data cannot be recovered.

  If you are sure you want Staff to proceed, post here again to:
  (1) confirm the URL of the blog(s) you want them to empty;
  (2) confirm that you know content deletion is irreversible;
  (3) request a theme reset.

  Then type modlook into the sidebar tags on this thread for a Staff follow-up. How do I get a Moderator/Staff reply for my question? https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-help-in-the-forums/#how-do-i-get-a-moderatorstaff-reply-for-my-question Also subscribe to this thread so you are notified when they respond and be patient while waiting. To subscribe look in the sidebar of this thread, find the subscribe to topics link and click it.

  IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting blogs and/or blog content does not remove indexed content from the SERPs (search engine page results). Google and Bing only clear their caches of deleted indexed content that produces a 404 (page not found) every 3 – 6 months. To completely remove an entire page from Google search results after it produces a 404 (page not found):

  Thanks for the commendation but there is no way to rate my responses. lol :D I answer quickly because I have been answering threads here for 11 years now. I predate the support docs and all members of support staff except for one member.
