  While googling my name, I found a site I created 10 years ago while in college. I don’t have access to the college email anymore nor do I remember the login credentials. I do not have access to anything that shows proof of ownership because it was in the college email that I no longer have access to.

  How can I please get this site taken down or set it to private so it can no longer be accessed? Thank you!

  Hi,

  If you are unable to verify account ownership as outlined in the Recover your account support page, then see the options listed in the If ownership cannot be established section of the support page. As indicated there you may request that WordPress.com set the site to private.
