  I have deleted a user name before. I want to use it again but I can’t anymore because as I was notified, you can’t use a user name or a blog address anymore once you delete it.

  I’m managing two blogs, but I have another which I don’t use anymore. I wanna delete it because it seems to be a mess in My Blogs because I don’t even use it, but at the same time, I don’t wanna delete it because I might have to use it again.

  Is it possible for you guys to allow WordPress users to reuse a user name or a blog address even if it was already deleted by a certain user who once used it?

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

  No, WordPress does not recycle names.
  Just set your blog to private so that if you ever want to use the name again, it will be there for you.
