  Hi, I recently tried to change the name of my wordpress domain (www.nistanbul.wordpress.com) to marianbrehmer.wordpress.com. However I always get a message that this domain is already taken. I don’t remember having signed it up, but I might have registered it in the past and forgotten to delete it. Now I can’t access as I don’t remember my email/password. Could you check please, and maybe delete that domain so it becomes available again?
  Thank you.

  Hi there,

  marianbrehmer.wordpress.com used to belong to your account, but you deleted it in July 2015.

  Deleted WordPress.com sites can only be restored for 30 days after deletion. After that it becomes permanent, and that address can never be used again, not even by the original owner. So it’s not possible for us to release that address so you can use it again.
