  I tried to import my old tumblr account but the resulting upload was almost two times too large for the free service. Whoops! I tried to go in and do it myself but I kept getting errors, but could your support team roll back my import and remove it? I only made one post plus the default post via WordPress, and I’d like to keep them. The only post of mine that I want to Keep is here: https://madamjuggernaut.wordpress.com/2018/12/08/who-what-where-post/

  So if you could revert or delete things for me, I would greatly appreciate it. I am hoping to start a new blog but I had no idea my import would be so big.

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

  Hi there,

  I see around 4300 posts ended up importing.

  We cannot selectively remove posts from a site, only empty it completely. That process removes all posts, pages and media from the site, and cannot be reversed.

  If you want us to do that, please make a copy of the posts you want to keep – edit the posts, switch to the HTML view, and copy the content there into a text editor like Notepad (NOT MS Word), then you can just add it back in a new post after the site has been emptied.

  Please confirm here when you’re ready for us to proceed.

  Okay, you’re site is being emptied now. It’s a lot of content that needs to be emptied, so give it an hour or two. Once you see there are no more posts or media files on the site, it will be safe to start a new import.
