Steps to Delete WordPress.com Site

 

You might be uncomfortable if someone read the outdated information on your WordPress.com blog. Or perhaps you created a website with the intention of starting a blog but never actually did. Any WordPress.com site can be easily and permanently deleted, regardless of the reasons. To be clear, this post won't teach you how to remove a WordPress.org site; instead, you should contact your WordPress hosting company if that's what you're after.

 

Let's now go over how to remove a WordPress.com site.

 

Step 1. Go to your WordPress.com home page, scroll down the left-hand side menu, and select "Settings" from the list of options. On the right side of the screen, the General Settings window will appear.

 

Step 2. Scroll down until you reach the Site tools Section, then click "Delete Your Site Permanently". The Delete site screen appears.

 

Step 3. If you want to keep the site's content but delete the site, you can export it from the Export Content First section at the top of this screen. Scroll down to the Delete Site section after backing up your content, if you wish. You'll notice a warning that the URL for the site you're removing won't be accessible to you afterward. You'll also see a warning that states that removing your WordPress.com site will erase all of its contributors, domains, themes, and upgrades.

Step 4. To proceed with deleting your WordPress.com site, click "Delete Site" in this section. A confirmation window for site deletion appears.

 

Step 5. To confirm, type the URL of the WordPress.com site you want to delete in the space before clicking "Delete this site." You won't see the website on your WordPress.com homepage after it has been totally removed.
