  I have multiple sites. I wanted to change one to the address of another. I deleted the other so that the address would be available. But when I try to change the address of the one, it still tells me ‘Sorry, that site has already been used!’ when I know I just deleted it. How can I get that address?

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

  Deleted .wordpress.com blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and the only exceptions are made are for URLs that were deleted 2 or more years ago. http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  You can register another site: Adding a New Site or Blog to an Existing Account https://en.support.wordpress.com/create-a-blog/#adding-a-new-site-or-blog-to-an-existing-account

  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.
