How can I delete the blog I currently have on my site. I was using a domain but no longer have that domain so I cannot access WP Admin to delete the site.

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

The link is broken. Are you sure the blog is still active ?

What is the free WordPress.com URL? Even if you no longer have your custom domain, the free URL should still exist. I’m afraid there’s nothing we can do to help you without that.

The only way to delete a blog is via the dashboard, and only the username account that owns the blog can do that.

It is not active any longer, that is why I would like to delete it. I am unable to access WP Admin because it points to the domain name I used before.

What is the free WordPress.com URL, e.g. yourdomain.wordpress.com ?

I set this up over five years ago and have not used it in several years, so I honestly do not remember.

I understand :)

Let me tag this for staff. They’ll be able to see all the blogs that exist in this account and give you the WP.com URLs. Please be patient while waiting for their response.

Hi there!

I’ve gone ahead to disconnect http://www.freecosm.com from your WordPress.com account. You won’t see it in your Dashboard any more. Let me know if that helps or if you have any extra questions. :)

Thank you very much for your help.

I have one more question, I am trying to setup andycrofford.wordpress.com but I get a message that it is reserved.

Is that because someone else has this subdomain?

That URL is reserved for registration only by the person with the matching username account.https://en.forums.wordpress.com/profile/andycrofford

When we register a username account the matching blog is reserved for our future use. It cannot be obtained by anyone other than the person who has registered the matching username account.

If and only if you have the matching username account then log in under the correct username account and as the blog is reserved for you and you will register it after logging in under the correct username account.
https://signup.wordpress.com/signup/?user=1

However, if you changed your username then the blog URL will not be available for use under the new username account.

In the event that you think you registered the matching username account 6 years ago and have lost your log-in information, please use account recovery https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery and the Staff will help you by email ie. off of these public support forums that everyone with internet access can view.
