    What is the URL starting with http:// of the site you are referring to please?

    What makes you think the blog has been hacked? Please be descriptive and provide details.

    What makes you think deleting a blog is a solution to anything? Note that blog deletion here ate WordPress.com is irreversible. Deleted blog URLs are not recycled.

    Who has access to your log-in information and/or email address?

    Did you use the same password for your email account and your blog?

    Are you sharing log-in information with anyone or leaving it where anyone can locate it?

    Are you remaining logged in on your computer so anyone can come along and access your blog through it?

    Go to your email program and change the password to a very difficult one because that’s how many hackers gain access to blogs.

    Then read this please knowing that blogs don’t get hacked when security protocols are followed. > http://en.support.wordpress.com/security/

    1. If you can log-in go here > Users > All Users and delete any user that does not belong there.

    2. Disable post by email > http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-by-email/

    3. Disable post by voice > http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-by-voice/

    4. Change your blog password to a very difficult one > http://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/#change-your-password

    5. Use a secure, encrypted connection to connect to your Dashboard. Under Users → Personal Settings, check the box that says “Always use HTTPS when visiting administration pages, and click Save Changes.

    http://gaialogia.wordpress.com/ is the only blog on your account and seems to be just fine to me.

    The only recent activity was an image deletion back in April of 2012 and your attempt to delete the whole blog today.
