  I have my own domain and one wordpress.com blog which I wanted to transfer to my own domain.
  I wrote the username (which was the wrong one) to which the wordpress.com blog would be transferred.

  I though the wordpress.com blog would show up in the dashboard of my own domain blog but it didn’t (obviously) since I used the wrong username.
  Now someone named “ellinor” has my blog if I got this right.

  The thing is, my first option was to transfer the wordpress.com blog to my own domain so that maybe I could redirect it to my own website.
  Or else I would delete it since I don’t use it (I only use my own website now).

  The blog I accidentally transferred incorrectly, can it be deleted? Or taken back?
  This random user who now has it, I mean, shouldn’t he/she notice that there’s suddenly another blog in their account?

  Sorry I’m a real beginner :-) Thank you!

  The one I transferred is http://ellinorlindholm.wordpress.com

  My own website is http://ellinorlindholm.se

  I just want the wordpress blog to be removed really.

  Just to clarify, is http://ellinorlindholm.wordpress.com/ the blog that you lost access to?

  macmanx, I tried to transfer a blog to another account. I created it in my account, but my mom will be the manager of this new one. She created a login in wordpress.com, but the transfer fails. Can you help me? Tks! :)

  girlmisguided, are you still having trouble? If so, please verify which blog should belong to which user. In the future, please start your own thread rather than replying to someone else’s resolved thread.

  dripincher, specifically which blog are you transferring to which user?
