  Hello,

  I have tried to solve this and hate having to be a bother to the support team, but I really feel stuck with trying to access an old account to delete an old blog and would appreciate any help or advice.

  I created a WordPress blog 9 years ago (that I forgot existed) that I would like to delete. The issue is that I had signed up using a student email address that I do not have access to and am pretty sure does not even exist anymore.

  I cannot submit the Account Recovery Form because I do not have access/cannot provide any of the 3 criteria for Proof of Ownership.

  The username for the account I am attempting to access is: SelcouthKat

  The blog I am attempting to access and want to delete is:
  https://selcouthkat.wordpress.com/

  If I can talk to someone privately I can provide the student email that is associated with that account, as well as more proof not on a public forum post.

  Please let me know if you need any more information regarding this case.

  Thank you!

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

  Hi there,
  You will need staff assistance for this. I am tagging this question with the modlook tag, so that it gets staff’s attention.

  If you wish to reach the moderator staff directly for your future questions, just add the modlook tag in the Tags section.

  Read about the modlook tag here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-help-in-the-forums/#how-do-i-get-a-moderatorstaff-reply-for-my-question

  You can also subscribe to this topic by clicking on the “Subscribe to Topic” link on the sidebar to get email notifications whenever someone posts an answer to this thread.

  Thanks.

  Thank you both @otpidusprime for the information about the modlock tag—I did not realize this helpful feature and now see it on the right column. I know I always miss something integral like that!

  @supernovia I see an email from a staff member in my email inbox now, too, and about to respond.

  Thank you both again for your time and help with this!

  @wanttodeleteblog you bet. Be sure you use “modlook” though not “modlock” – the other won’t work. Cheers!
