    My 2 old blogs (alenawild.wordpress.com & One Soul to Another) are tied to an old, and deleted, email address. I am trying to delete the blogs now, and I can’t because even though I have added my new email address as an administrator, the delete notification is sent to an email address that no longer exists. Is there a way to reroute the delete notification to my current email so I can delete my old blogs?

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

    By the way, the “notify me of follow-up posts via e-mail” for these blogs will also be sent to a deleted email account. So if you have the right answer or know how to help me, please email (email visible only to moderators and staff). Thanks!

    You have to recover the accounts first to delete the blogs. Please complete the form for account recovery at this link https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery After your submit the form Account Recovery Staff will contact you by email ie. not on these public support forums which are available to everyone with internet access. Please be patient while waiting for Staff to reply to you.

    Here’s the thing: my alenawild account still exists. And my new wordpress account is connected to my new email. I know I can connect two different accounts to the same email, right? But will this be an issue with “recovering” an account? I guess all I need to do is to connect it with my new email and things should work fine.

    I’ve tried to delete my old account from the “Users” section on both old blogs, and neither one let me since alenawild was the creater, even though I was doing it from my alenawild account. I even tried to change my role so that my new account had preference and control, but it wouldn’t let me do that either.

    Thanks for your quick response! I was able to fill out the form for both blogs, and will hopefully be able to delete these old blogs soon.
