  You can manually delete all files, content, tags and categories to start afresh.

  To delete posts and pages: https://en.support.wordpress.com/deleted-posts-and-pages/

  To delete media files: https://en.support.wordpress.com/media/deleting-files/

  You can also delete tags. Learn how to here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/tags/

  Categories can also be deleted on this page https://wordpress.com/settings/taxonomies/category Click on the 3 dots next to each category to delete them.

  Hope this helps. Let me know if you have questions.

  I just realized that okanagancreativedesigns has linked to a better article. Please make use of that article to empty your WordPress.com site.

  Greetings!

  I appreciate your responding. I was using the link shared by okanagancreativedesigns, when i hit the three dots I do not get the trash option. I got that for my blog entries which I deleted.

  I am going to attempt it again.

  Bless

  I have deleted the pages. The trash icon appeared?! I have changed theme, but strangely I do not see the pics from that theme or any of the info that I would normally see when setting up.

  I was using DARA and was not really satisfied with it, I found a theme that is actually exactly what Im looking for. I was wondering then, if I were to delete my site completely and start afresh – will it affect the name. I want to use the same site name.

  Please help me – thanx

  As you have deleted all content then there is nothing to show. Start some fresh posts and pages and then your site will take shape. Basic theme instructions are in this link but you need some content/pages etc before you can create a menu etc. https://wordpress.com/theme/resonar

  PS: DON’T delete your URL if you want to continue to use that same address in the future.
