  Hi,

  We were trying to reset a template (QUA) to its defaults and couldn’t do it.

  We were thinking about deleting the site and start again but we are affraid of loosing the name ‘ateliersofiasaraiva.wordpress.com’.
  Can we restore this name after deleting an account?
  Is there a way of doing it without a plugin?

  Is there any other way of resetting a template to its defaults?

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

  There is no theme reset button. We simply remove whatever we did to restore a theme to default.

  Please see here https://wordpress.com/theme/qua

  To empty the site, keep the same URL and start over, you have two options (You must be logged in under the username account that registered the site first):
  (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, and you are prepared to wait then type modlook into the tags in the sidebar of this thread for Staff attention, and post here again to:
  (1) confirm the URL of the blog you want them to empty;
  (2) confirm that you know content deletion is irreversible.

  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):

  Hi there,

  As @timethief already said you can follow these instructions to clear your site’s contents without losing its .wordpress.com address:

  Empty Your Site to Start Fresh

  After that, you can follow the setup instructions on your theme’s page to make your site look like the demo:

  If you have any other questions, just let me know and I’ll be happy to help.
