Impossible to change usename
-
When I try to change my username I get a message in red saying it already exists. I deleted my first blogsite. And I created a new one. And in the new one my old username appears. Weird. I need help please
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hey sundtoghjemmelaget!
The username that you’re trying to change to, is it one you’ve used before? -
Hi sundtoghjemmelaget,
When I try to change my username I get a message in red saying it already exists. I deleted my first blogsite.
I’m afraid it’s not possible to reuse the username from a deactivated account. If you let me know which username you’d like to use, I will have a look at what is happening.
Thanks!

sundtoghjemmelaget is the old one that I thought I had deleted, and that I don’t won’t to use
I want to use my new one: saltogsott as username, because this is my sites name

Ok, I see. Do you also own the account called saltogsott? Or just sundtoghjemmelaget at the moment?

Hi sundtoghjemmelaget,
It won’t be possible to rename sundtoghjemmelaget to saltogsott because the account already exists. However, you can transfer saltogsottblog.wordpress.com to the saltogsott account using these steps:

Once the site has been transferred your sundtoghjemmelaget account can be deactivated, which will leave you with one account:

Come back to me if you have any questions.

I don’t get it. I don’t want to rename sundtoghjemmelaget. I have deactivated this before I startet the new one; saltogsott. The only error is that the username is sundtoghjemmelaget on my new site; saltogsott. I just want to get rid of the username sundtoghjemmelaget. I only have one site, I don’t have two

The username sundtoghjemmelaget is associated with saltogsottblog.wordpress.com because the site was created using using that account.
I just want to get rid of the username sundtoghjemmelaget.
If you want to get rid of your sundtoghjemmelaget account, you will need to transfer ownership of the site to your saltogsott account first.

Once you’ve followed the steps above, saltogsottblog.wordpress.com will be owned by your saltogsott account. Your sundtoghjemmelaget account can then be deactivated as it will no longer own any sites.
Come back to me if anything is unclear.

I tried the link “transfer ownership of the site”, and it says I have to go to My Blogs. Well I don’t find it. Could you just delete everything I have, and I will start over some other daty

If the link isn’t working, I can try the transfer to saltogsott — just let me know when you are ready for me to go ahead do that.

Thanks, I’ve transferred ownership of saltogsottblog.wordpress.com over to saltogsott — you should be able to see the site if you log in to that account now.
Once you are logged in as saltogsott, your sundtoghjemmelaget account can be removed from the site:
