    HI,
    Recently I started blogging again, but I realised I have 3 wordpress sites all with similar addresses and names ie Loose Pickings.

    I am the owner of all 3 but I want to just use 1 and delete the other two, but preferably still use the loosepickings.wordpress.com address

    Is there a way I can do this?
    The loosepickings.wordpress.com site is under my other username and password.

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

    The loosepickings.wordpress.com site is under my other username and password.

    Do not delete that site because you will not be able to register it again. See here please: http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account

    Every site hosted by wordpress.COM is an independent site. What you do on one has no impact on any other site at all.

    To delete a WordPress.COM hosted blog you must be logged in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog to navigate to Dashboard > Tools > Delete Site.

    The guide is here http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/

    Deleted blog URLs are not recycled unless at least two years after deletion has passed, regardless of who registered and deleted them. Read http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

    Alternatively, to change blog visibility to Private choose option 3. See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings
