  Hi,

  Here are instructions on how to empty your site of all its content: https://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/

  Take a look and let me know if you have any questions!

  Every theme has a detailed theme description page like this one at https://wordpress.com/themes/miinow/ That’s where set up instructions for it are found. The live demo site is at https://minnowdemo.wordpress.com/

  You must be logged in under the username account that registered the site first. Then to empty the site you have two options:
  (1) Doing this quickly and easily yourself http://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/
  (2) Waiting in a queue and having Staff do it for you.

  If you have a lot of content Staff can empty the whole blog for you. That will remove all data including posts, pages, tags, categories, comments, and uploaded files and once deleted, the data cannot be recovered.

  IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting blogs and/or blog content does not remove indexed content from the SERPs (search engine page results). Google and Bing only clear their caches of deleted indexed content that produces a 404 (page not found) every 3 – 6 months. To completely remove an entire page from Google search results after it produces a 404 (page not found):
  https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/6332384?hl=en&ref_topic=1724262&vid=0-635749429504660340-12158368555624983465&rd=1

  If you are sure you want Staff to proceed, and you are prepared to wait then type modlook into the tags in the sidebar of this thread for Staff attention, and post here again to:
  (1) confirm the URL of the blog(s) you want them to empty;
  (2) confirm that you know content deletion is irreversible.

  Take a look and let me know if you have any questions!

  I do not recommend posting that into any thread. It is a time waster for those who post threads as any questions have to be answered by Staff if they do not comprehend the support doc linked to.

  That is why I never ever post that phrase that Staff post and instead I post the whole nine yards like I did above.

  Thanks for the heads up. I’m still a newbie here in the forums, so I really appreciate the explanation!

  You are welcome and thanks for all you do. It is a good idea to keep in mind that back and forth question and answer exchanges between bloggers and volunteers can end you up in the ditch wishing you would have posted the modlook spiel, while the annoyed blogger is SHOUTING! at you for wasting their time.
