  I recently created a free domain to host some work related content. But I wasn’t logged out of my personal wordpress account. For obvious reasons I want them unlinked. I would like to either delete the domain so I can use it under a wordpress account I create with my work email or transfer it to another account if that is possible.

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

  DO NOT DELETE IT! If you delete the domain it’s gone, forever, no way on earth to get it back.

  You can, however, transfer it to another account. Log out and create a new wordpress account with your work email, but don’t create a blog (at the screen where you must create a blog address there’s a link that allows you to continue without creating a blog).

  Then log out and log back into your personal account. Head to your dashboard and select “My blogs”. Hover the mouse over the title of the blog you want to transfer and the option to transfer the blog should appear.
