  I had a blog a few months ago named http://www.leximaebe.wordpress.com but I deleted it permanently. Now I want to rename my new blog that URL but they wont let me because its already been used. However it is not currently being used. How can I switch it?

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

  https://leximaebe.wordpress.com is no longer available.
  The authors have deleted this site.

  Deleting any .wordpress.com blog URL is not easily done. One has to ignore threee warnings stating that deletion is permanent and irreversible. That’s because deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made.

  You can register another .wordpress.com blog http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/

  Then if you wish to you can register a domain via a domain mapping upgrade because it does not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is when you are domain mapping.
