    I started a blog on wordpress.com example ‘www.website.wordpress.com’. Then I started up a blog with wordpress.org example ‘www.website.com’ and moved all of the content from my wordpress.com blog to my wordpress.org blog. However, when searched on google my wordpress.com blog comes up and not the one I actually ant showing up. I want to delete my wordpress.com blog, but I’m concerned that I might delete my wordpress.org blog too. Am I safe to delete my wordpress.com blog without harming my wordpress.org blog?

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

    Couldn’t exactly understand what you’re trying to convey but I would suggest you to make your WordPress.com blog private by following the instructions at https://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/ so that it get de-indexed from Google search result pages. (Remember, it takes a whole lot of time to get content de-indexed).

    Am I safe to delete my wordpress.com blog without harming my wordpress.org blog?

    Yes. But better to make it private rather than deleting it.
