  The instructions you provide to delete my site are not available in the tools section in the dashboard. The only thing listed under tools is the following:
  Press This
  Press This is a bookmarklet: a little app that runs in your browser and lets you grab bits of the web.

  Use Press This to clip text, images and videos from any web page. Then edit and add more straight from Press This before you save or publish it in a post on your site.

  Drag-and-drop the following link to your bookmarks bar or right click it and add it to your favorites for a posting shortcut.
  Press This

  Post by Email
  You can publish posts using emails with the Post by Email feature. To enable this visit your My Blogs page and create a secret address.

  You need to be logged in as the EXACT account that owns the blog to delete it, you also need to be an Admin

  Is there another account you might have used to create the blog?

  As auxclass pointed out y ou must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard.

  Clicking this link should display all your blogs registered under the same username, including the hidden ones: https://dashboard.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=my-blogs&show=hidden

  If you do not see the blog here http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/ then
  follow this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/#my-blogs-dashboard-visibility

  If you have lost your log-in information you can visit https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
  and if required click the “Need More Help” link and complete the form for account recovery.

  When you are logged in under the exact same username account that registered a blog to prevent accidental or inadvertent deletion of blogs, there are multiple warnings given that blog deletion is permanent and irreversible. Lastly, a verification link is sent in an email and must be clicked to delete a blog. If clicking that link does not work then copy and paste it into your upper browser window and click.
