  I have three blogs, only one of which is active (the other two were tests). I cannot find an option to delete the two empty blogs. In the forum I found a suggestion to go to dashboard then click “option”, but I don’t have that “option” link under dashboard. I’ve also seen a suggestion to go to “tools” but that leads me to “delete Site” which I don’t want to do. When I go to My Blogs and place cursor under the blog name, I get options to transfer blog and a few others but none to delete blog.

  So–where do I go to delete a blog (NOT the site)?

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

  Hi there,

  You can quickly remove your contents by deleting them in bulk. Please view the guide below:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/edit-posts-screen/#bulk-edit

  Alternatively, we can empty the whole blog for you, but that will remove all data including posts, pages, tags, categories, comments, and uploaded files. Once deleted, the data cannot be recovered.

  If you are sure you want to proceed, please reply to confirm the name of the blog you want us to empty.

  there’s no content in the blog. I just want to delete the shell that exists in the “my blogs” section.

  If you want to permanently delete your site, follow the guide below:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/delete-site/

  Please read the warnings and advice before deleting a site, as we can’t revert a site deletion for any reason.

  If you want to hide your site instead, you can use the following guide to make your site private so only you and other members of the site can view it when logged in:

  I saw that, but was worried that it would delete my active blogs. What’s the difference between “site” and “blog”?

  Hi there,

  There is no difference. Your blog would be your site. Please make sure you are in the Dashboard of the site you want to delete. :)

  You can check that by looking at the URL. When you go into your Dashboard of tahitiangoddess.wordpress.com, it will look like this:

  https://tahitiangoddess.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

  Make sure the part before “.wordpress.com” is the site you want to delete.
