Can you remove someone else’s blog that they haven’t been using? There is a blog with the domain name that I would like to use but it has never even been touched since 2007. The blog is also not fully functional. It has nothing. The blog I would like to remove is

arrival.wordpress.com

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

WordPress does not recycle blog names but if you are really passionate about obtaining this blog name you could try to get a hold of the owner and request permission to have it.

There is no expiration date on blogs unused or otherwise. If you can make contact on your own with the owner of an unused blog then there is a means of a consenting blog owner to transfer the blog to another username account. http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account

In the case that there is no contact information Staff will not breach the privacy policy and provide you with an email address.

If you are not successful, you can register another blog with a similar name. http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/

Or you can register a domain via a domain mapping upgrade and it will not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is.
