  Hi @singleblackqueermale,

  If you remove a domain, you can only recover it using the same username that created it for the first time. You can read more about it in https://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  But if you want to administrate a domain using another login instead of the original login creator, you can add a new user with an administrator permissions and use it, leaving the original admin intact.

  Let me know if you need any help on this matter!

  Hi singleblackqueermale,

  Deleting pattonandthepen.wordpress.com will mean the address is unavailable and it won’t be possible to create a new site using the same address, through a different account.

  If wish to continue using the pattonandthepen.wordpress.com, I recommend transferring the site to your other account instead of deleting it. We have some information about the process here:

  I’ll be happy to answer any questions you have.
