Why can't I delete blogs?

    I want to delete three of my inactive blogs. When I’m asked to consider option, no drop down list appears, and I get the same screen over and over. I’m sure that I want to delete the blogs–how can I do that?

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

    No, I do not want to delete jackwallertreeart.com. I want to delete three other blogs.

    Can I confirm that you have gone to your Dashboard and clicked Tools → Delete site? Is it in the next window where you are not seeing a drop down box?

    If you take this action in another browser such as Chrome or Firefox, are you seeing the same results, or are you able to see the drop down options?

    Please let me know and I can better troubleshoot this issue for you. Thanks!

    Yes, I did Dashboard, clicked Tools and Delete site. After I clicked on Delete I was advised to consider my other options by clicking on a drop down list. But that list never appeared and I kept getting the same advice to consider my options before deleting the blog.
    Another problem came up when I was told that I was trying to delete my primary site http://www.jackwallertreeart.com. I do NOT want to delete that. I want to delete other blogs that I created but have never used.
    A final problem is that Google Chrome can’t even find some of my blogs when I type in the URLs.
    I have two goals: 1. I want to make exact copies of blogs, and 2. I want to delete some blogs just to clean things up.
    I do appreciate all your help and regret taking up your time!

    Hello!

    I have two goals: 1. I want to make exact copies of blogs

    If you would like another blog, with a different name, but the same content as an existing blog, you’ll need to register a new blog name. Just log in, click My Blogs, and the Create a New blog.

    Once that is done, you will export all your files from your old site:
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/export/#download-your-content

    And import them into the new one:
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/import/

    The actual appearance of the site will have to be adjusted manually. Just choose the same theme, and make any changes to match the old site.

    and 2. I want to delete some blogs just to clean things up.

    I am going to send you a private email about this. Please keep an eye out.

    Thanks much! Good luck with the setup of the new sites.
