  Hello,

  I am the owner of the site, worldofreverie.wordpress.com and cleopatrachu.wordpress.com made under the email (email visible only to moderators and staff).

  I recently made a new wordpress account with my new email, (email visible only to moderators and staff). I tried deleting the other account made under (email visible only to moderators and staff) but now I can’t seem to use the name cleopatrachu for my url.

  Is it possible for me to claim this username cleopatrachu.wordpress.com on this account?

  Thank you.

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

  No, unfortunately not.

  Deleting a site permanently removes it and you’ll never be able to re-use its WordPress.com address (such as yourgroovysite.wordpress.com).

  You can ask for the site address cleopatrachu.wordpress.com to be restored using the account that owned that site. If that account is not closed, can you post back here using that account to recover the site address? If you closed the account, reply to the email you received at the time of closing to restore the account and site. This needs to be done within 30 days of closing, so it’s important to work quickly.

  Sites like yoursite.wordpress.com that are active and have not been deleted can be transferred between accounts. Usernames (the account login name) cannot be transferred.
