  Hi there

  I recently deleted my old side to make a new one but I was hoping to still use the same name.wordpress.com after deleting the original.

  I thought by closing this name, it would get released but I’m having difficulty being able to use it again.

  Is this possible? Do I have to wait a while? I’d love to get the original name back

  WP.com: Yes
  Jetpack: No
  Correct account: Yes

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

  When you deleted your wordpress.com subdomain, it was very clearly stated it would be locked forever.

  A WordPress.com subdomain can be restored within 30 days after deletion. Once 30 days passed, it’s locked for eternity.

  You find all info to restore a deleted subdomain at https://wordpress.com/support/delete-site/#restore-a-deleted-site

  @baaadgery it looks like you’ve deleted quite a few sites in the past week. Can you let me know which one you want restored (as long as it was within that 30 day period)?

  Thanks!
