  Started to create a free blog, andrewssongs, but the transaction never completed. I had forgotten I already had an account linked to my email. So I logged in and tried to change the old account name to “andrewssongs”. But it won’t let me because now it says that name is taken, even though the transaction did not complete. (If you go to the page it says the authors have deleted the site.) Is there any way to reclaim that name? Thanks

  Hi there Andy,

  Sorry but once a site is deleted, there’s no way to reclaim its name. :(

  Let me know if you have further concerns.
