Site name I want is reserved for my old (deleted) account
-
Hi there,
Well, as the title says: I want to start a blog with a certain URL, but that URL is reserved for an account I deleted a while ago. I’ve never created a site using it, but it’s still reserved.
Is there any way to get it back?
Thanks in advance!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Unfortunately, when a site name is deleted, it will never be made available again. See: https://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

The thing is the site name has never been used.
The site name was reserved for my old account, but that account doesn’t exist anymore. Still, even now that the old account is gone, the site name is still ‘reserved’.

That’s strange, cause WordPress.com accounts can’t be deleted: https://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/
Did you try logging in again or resetting the password?

Sorry, what I meant to say is I deleted (changed) the account’s username.
I thought changing the username would allow me to use the site name I want to use on my new account.
