  I’ve tagged this for staff assistance, since they will have to remove it for you, but please post here the site you wish removed from your account.

  it was http://www.iammattbell.com/blog

  I also have tried to setup my new blog at everlivinghealth.wordpress.com but something went wrong and I am having the same problem there, perhaps they can delete the site there so that I can setup my new one…

  It seems the blog name has been changed to mastermatthewbell.wordpress.com

  Please let us know if you need any further assistance!

  Thank you kardotim.

  I am now trying to setup my blog at the address everlivinghealth.wordpress.com, can you help me with this? It says the site has been deleted but I am the one who created it in the first place….not sure what happened.

  When you renamed the blog you probably choose for the option to permanently disable the old blog address. Therefore it’s not possible to use that name again. Feel free to register a different blog address at http://wordpress.com/signup

  With any blog, you can also use a custom domain with the Domain Mapping upgrade.

  When i go to https://wordpress.com/settings/account/

  the “web address” is everlivinghealth.wordpress.com

  why can’t i create a blog at this address if my web address is it?

  That’s just manually written on your profile. Once the blog has been deleted it’s not possible to use that name again. Feel free to register a different blog address at http://wordpress.com/signup or register a custom domain: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/

  Thank you.

  That blog has been previously registered on your account. Please see my previous reply for an explanation: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/unlink-old-blog?replies=11#post-1701877
