  I changed my site address from stedhamgraveyardsurvey to stedhamchurchyardsurvey, however, I now need to revert to stedhamgraveyardsurvey (long story). However, WordPress is telling me that I can’t due to not have the right tokens. I therefore wonder if I could delete the whole site and then just start again? I haven’t launched it yet. I need to use a free site for this project as I have no budget, so buying a domain name isn’t an option.

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  Unfortunately there is no way back once you change a site address. When you changed the site address it was very very clearly stated that the old name tedhamgraveyardsurvey would be locked forever. You even had to confirm you agreed to this, https://wordpress.com/support/changing-site-address/

  Hi there,

  We can still restore the address, stedhamgraveyardsurvey.wordpress.com, to your account so you can continue using it. But we cannot reverse the address change itself.

  Let us know if you want us to restore that address for you – deleted site addresses can be restored for 30 days before the deletion becomes permanent.
