Dear WordPress,

I just started a few days ago. I must have clicked by accident in this domain name called
webio778509194.wordpress.com. I want to delete this. How could I do that?

Thank you

Hello @ioannamoudanioti,

Given your situation of accidental typing, instead of deleting the site you can change the site address. For example, if rainiscoming.wordpress.com was the incorrectly typed site address and you wish to change it to itsraining.wordpress.com. Also keeping in mind that you have just started which can mean the site will not face any broken search engine results either.

Here is how you can do it.

Go to My site → General Tab (On the left column of your screen) → Site tools (Scroll down)→ Change your site address → click on the free site address →
At this point you will be directed to default domain setting page where you can click on the desired site address and make the changes as per your desire.

I also recommend you take a few minutes to go through this information support document explaining all about changing site address in the following link:
