    Hello, I am wanting to have ONLY the content deleted off of my wordpress blog, moonlitdream.wordpress.com so that I can start over fresh with new content.

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

    Hello,

    There is an option for starting your blog over, but maintaining the web address etc. If you click on My sites > Settings and scroll down to the bottom there is an option for “Start Over” Follow the steps there and you should get a fresh site.

    Let me know if you have any questions

    I actually went to that section in settings and it had no options other than to contact support, which I did. It doesn’t give me any further steps.

    You could also bulk delete the posts and pages that your currently have.

    If you go to WP Admin > Posts (or pages) select all of the posts, under the bulk actions drop down is the option to move posts to trash. Do that for pages and posts, and most of your content will have been removed, that should be pretty close to starting over.

    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.

    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):

    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 you want them to empty;
    (2) confirm that you know content deletion is irreversible.

    Hi there,

    Our support page can assist you in this process.
    If you have tons of content on your blog, we can do it for you, but you can accomplish clearing your site fairly easily with bulk actions whenever you’re ready.

    Let me know if you have any questions or if you want me to proceed with emptying your blog.
    .
    Thanks,
