  I tried to create a blog but it said that name was taken, so I put it into my browser *****.wordpress.com and it said that blog no longer exists, because it was deleted by the user.

  So WHY is it not available ????

  Blogs that have been deleted by the owner will remain deleted. We cannot, under any circumstances, allow someone to take over a blog name that was previously owned and deleted by its original/previous owner.
