  Hi @majourdaniel,

  This explanation from @juliasydnor covers your issue:

  “Unfortunately, when you delete a site it is permanent, so it’s not possible to get that site back.

  You would need to create a new site in your WordPress.com account. You can learn more about that here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/create-a-blog/

  You will need to use a different site address when you create a new site, since the old site address cannot be reused.”

  Here is the full link to an older forum where this same issue was discussed: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/how-to-recovery-my-deleted-site/

  Hi there, I’d just like to update that if the site in question was deleted less than 30 days ago, you can request Support to recover the site for you by replying to the email you received following deletion of your site or by asking here in this forum thread using the same username account that registered the site on WordPressdotcom.

  If it has been more than 30 days since site deletion, it will not be possible to recover the site and its content. You’ll need to register a new website as mentioned above.

  Hope this helps.

  Hi there,

  Please confirm the address that you are trying to get back.

  I see http://storieslogecom.wordpress.com/ has been deleted, but that site was only deleted some time after you created this thread, so I assume you’re speaking of another site.
