  Hi there @henrybromelkamp please ignore the spammer reply and note that any community support is given directly here in these community forums.

  The only person who can entirely delete the site is the site owner (the account that registered the site here on WordPress.com) or other admin of the site. Do you have access to the site you mentioned and, if so, do you have admin role?

  If not, please fill out the account recovery form and give as much information as you can to request that the site be made private.

  Hi @henrybromelkamp! Thank you for letting us know, and I’m very sorry for your loss.

  If you have access to the account, you can delete the site by following this guide:
  
  https://wordpress.com/support/delete-site/

  If you don’t have access, as justjennifer mentioned, you can try the account recovery process by following these steps:

  If it’s not possible to establish ownership through recovery, you can request to have the site made private, as explained here:

  Please let us know if you have any questions or need any additional help. We’re here to support you.
