Unable to remove domain

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hello,

    I don’t remember when I added maxmk.wordpress.com domain. Also, I am unable to delete it or remove it from my account as it is not giving any option to delete. I have changed all my security credentials as a part of security. Please remove maxmk.wordpress.com domain from my account. The only domain I am having is elinux.co.in. So, please remove other domain from my account.

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

  • Hi!

    I see that this thread has been tagged with “modlook” for WordPress.com staff’s action, but I will share steps of my own.

    You should be able to completely delete the site maxmk.wordpress.com from your WordPress.com account by following the steps below.

    Deleting a WordPress.com site

    Visit this page and click on the “Delete your site permanently” button at the bottom. Follow the on-screen instructions to delete your WordPress.com site.

    If you are unsure about a step anywhere, you can refer this page for help.

    Note that when you delete this site though, the site will completely be deleted off WordPress.com and will not be possible to recover it at a later stage.

    If you are worried about following these steps, you can wait for a WordPress.com staff to confirm the steps.

    Hello,

    I followed the steps provided above but there is no delete option. PFA screenshot. My other domain attached with that account I can see delete option but for maxmk.wordpress.com there is not setting options.

    Hi anupkk,

    The account you are currently logged in to is a Contributor on maxmk.wordpress.com, which means you don’t have the access privileges needed to access settings (and therefore delete the site).

    maxmk.wordpress.com is owned by maxmk so you will need to login to that account in order to delete it. Do you also own that account?

    Hello Gemmacevans,

    I don’t know maxmk and how come he added me as a contributor of maxmk.wordpress.com. Can you please tell the account holder to remove me from the contributor list or tell me how can I remove that domain from my account. I don’t know who is he and how come he added me as contributor and why I’ll contribute in his/her website if I am having my own website.

    Is there any kind of security breach or there is option to add anyone as a contributor. If you can share some details of owner of maxmk.wordpress.com then I can contact him and ask him to remove it or you can remove it from my account.

    Hi anupkk,

    The owner of the site would have invited you to become a Contributor on maxmk.wordpress.com. Your user account being added to the site doesn’t mean there has been a security breach — they don’t have any access to your account or any of your sites.

    I’ve removed your user account from maxmk.wordpress.com so it should no longer be listed in My Sites.

    I hope this helps.
