  Yesterday I was updating my BLOG, but the name changed. I did not remember doing anything for that to happen. The point is that the original site can still be opened, but new entries cannot be made there but instead in the new site. How can I delete the old site? The system does not allow me to do any changes to it.

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

  How can I delete the old site? The system does not allow me to do any changes to it.

  Log out, clear your browser cache https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache and cookies https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-wordpress-com-cookies and log in under the username account that registered the site.

  If the login information has been lost see https://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/#lost-password

  All blogs are independent websites. What you do on one has NO impact on others. To delete a WordPress.COM hosted blog you must be logged in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog to navigate to Dashboard > Tools > Delete Site. The guide is here http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/

  Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made except for the one stated here http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  Alternatively, to change blog visibility to Private go to > Settings > Reading scroll to Blog Visibility and choose option 3. See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings

  Provided you are logged in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the site go to

  https://wordpress.com/settings/delete-ite/NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/

  and click the “Delete Site” button.

  * You must replace “NAME_OF_BLOG” in the URL above with the actual name of the blog in question.
