  I selected the incorrect option when updating my account and site address – is there anyway to revert back to my old username and site address?

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

  If you changed your username then read this please:

  Once you change your username you will not be able to change it back and the old name will not be available for you or anyone to use. If you just want to show your name differently please only change your Display Name. https://en.support.wordpress.com/change-your-username/

  https://cherishkelly.wordpress.com is no longer available.
  The authors have deleted this site.

  Be aware that site deletion at WordPress.COM is a permanent and irreversible act. That is why there are multiple warnings to that effect that one has to ignore in order to delete any wordpress.COM blog. https://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/

  I am sorry but you cannot register a deleted blog URL. No one can use a deleted blog URL regardless of who registered it. Deleted blog URLs are not recycled here and you can confirm by reading:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/delete-blog/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  However, you can register another blog with a similar name. http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/

  Or you can register a domain via a domain mapping upgrade and it will not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is.
