restoring a deleted website
-
when I first registered to wordpress, and started to build my free website – I choose a domain name (XXX.wordpress.com). for some reason, I deleted this website. a few months later, when I started to work on a new website, the domain XXX.wordpress.com – was taken… by me! is there any way to restore the old website or delete it completely?

No it isn’t. When you delete a site it can only be restored within 30 days after deletion. Once 30 days passed, the domain name gets blocked forever.

Hi there,
What is the specific address you’re speaking of?
The most recently-deleted site in your account is meitalrazen.wordpress.com. That site was deleted on 4 December, which is more than 30 days ago, so it can no longer be restored. Any other site you deleted longer ago would also not be possible to restore anymore at this point.

hi, thanks for your reply. my problem is not the deleted website, but the name of the domain. I didn’t know back then that once you delete your website you can’t use the same domain name again… thank you

As @kokkieh already said, it’s not possible to get that address back. You’ll need to create a new one or you can even register a custom domain:
