    Some days ago I started with the building of a new blog free of charge, but, now, having better defined the subjects and the architecture of my blog, I would like to reset the old one and start all over again. Besides I would also implement a second blog on different matters. All, of coarse, leaving inaltered my original account profile. May you help me?

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

    To empty the site content and start over using the same URL ie. blog address you have two options:
    (1) Doing this quickly and easily yourself http://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/
    (2) Waiting in a queue and having Staff do it for you.

    If you have lots 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 public blogs and/or blog content from them or making them private 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):
