removing myself as an admin on a site

    I am an admin on other sites but I would like to remove myself as the sites are defunct and no longer being used. If I try and delete my user status, it will not allow me to. Is there a way someone can remove me from a dead site?

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

    Did you register these sites under your username account(s)?

    What are the URLs of the sites?

    If you want to leave a .wordpress.COM hosted blog you have been made an official user of by way of invitation you can use the leave a blog option. http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/#leave-a-blog

    If you want to leave a .wordpress.ORG hosted blog see: Disconnect Jetpack Sites https://en.support.wordpress.com/disconnect-jetpack-sites/

    Hi there,

    Also, if you are the owner of any of these sites, you will need to transfer ownership of the blog over to another admin, which will automatically remove them as a user of the site.
    You can find more information on user roles here:

    Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

    If I am not the owner of the blog but simply an administer, would these steps still be the correct ones?
