  I created a domain under the incorrect account. If I delete it under my first account, will I be able to reregister it under my second account?

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

  No, DO NOT DELETE IT!

  When you delete a WordPress.com site, both the content and the site address are permanently deleted, never to be recovered or reused either by you or anyone else.

  Transfer the site to the correct WordPress.com account following these instructions: https://en.support.wordpress.com/transferring-a-site-to-another-wordpress-com-account/

  When deleting a blog, you’re given several warnings that the address will become unavailable once deleted. The same is mentioned in the support article:

  What you can still however do is, try registering a new but similar URL! Good luck.
