Delete my unwanted blog.

Q: I cannot log in to delete my blog because I forgot the ID and password. Please delete it for me.
A: Yours is not a new problem. Daily, we have numerous requests to delete blogs. Google does not delete unwanted blogs. In fact they do not provide a contact email address or telephone number for this reason. Volunteer helpers, like me, are bloggers just like you. We have no access or authority to do it for you. 

I am afraid that you seem to have got it all wrong. Things don't work this way on the internet at all. You create the mess, somebody else, or Google will not follow behind you to clear it all up. You have to clear up your own mess. Always.
If you wanted something fixed, you will have to fix it yourself. You cannot do this if you don't know the ID and password. We are here merely to show you how, assuming you have access to your blog. If you do not...

Every blogger has to realize that they are responsible for their own blogs. To manage your blog as an admin, the minimum requirement is for you to maintain an active email account and record down your password somewhere safe. That's all.
Deleting any thing Google is a sure way of putting things out of your own reach. Experienced bloggers always retain control by converting unwanted blogs to stub blogs or even test blogs. They delete nothing.

Delete my blog for me.

Q: How can I use the url that I've ever made ? I totally forget the username & password, so I want to create a new one now.
A: The short answer:
Please use this blog address (URL): ricky-haryadi (with a hyphen)
You can re-use the same blog name: rickyharyadi (blog name can be shared)

The long answer:

I am afraid that you seem to have got it all wrong. Things don't work this way on the internet at all. You create the mess, somebody else, or Google will not follow behind you to clear it all up. You have to clear up your own mess. Always. 
If you wanted something fixed, you will have to fix it yourself. You cannot do this if you don't know the ID and password. We are here only to show you how.

Yours is not a new problem. We have numerous requests to delete blogs, daily. Google does not delete unwanted blogs. In fact they do not provide a contact email address or tel No. Volunteer helpers, like me, are bloggers just like you. We have no access or authority to do it for you. Any way, after deletion, the URL will be locked for 90 days. You cannot re-use it, any way. Unwanted blogs should be made into stub blogs or test blogs. All on the one Google account which is good for 100 blogs.

I have 2 blogs!

Q: Hi I'm oldmothercath and I need a little help I went to post a new blog this morning but somehow I now have 2 blogs. Help!
A: Having 2 blogs is fine. One account is good for 100 blogs and each blog is good for countless posts. 

I think you are confused by Blogger's terminology:

Unlike other blogging platforms (word press, my space, typepad, livejournal, multiply, facebook, orkut, friendster, hi5), on Blogger, we do not call a blog, a blog. We call it a post. When you wish to make a new blog, you should click on "new post" or the pencil icon. Other wise you would be creating blog after blog, unintentionally, like now. This is terrible. No one will read your blogs arranged that way, all over the internet under a different URL for each post.

1. Sign on to your blog using your ID and password here: www.blogger.com
2. On your dashboard click on "new post"
3. Type inside the post editor (large box) or upload a photo
4. Publish post.

Your blogging area will be filled by your posts as you add more posts (no limit). The side bars are meant for adding gadgets: About me, archives, labels list, link list etc. Continue to add posts to your blog. One blog is usually enough for a new blogger. Please do not create too many blogs today. What you need to do is add more posts to the 2 blogs you have now. 

I do not recommend that you delete the second blog. Very often I find that deleting anything in Blogger, merely puts the item out of your own reach and does not give the expected results (peace of mind). Quite often you will have to back track, in order to solve the original problem. Some times this will involve the Google team and help from them is not so easy to get (no email address and no tel No:)

If you like, you can make the second blog into a stub blog or a test blog. You may take a peek at mine to get some idea:

Delete blog

Q: I have 4 blogs on my account, and I want to delete 3 of them. How do I delete a blog?
A: Deletion does not solve any problem in Blogger. It merely puts things out of your own reach. When you deleted an URL (blog address), it is locked for 90 days. You cannot re-use that URL.


Many new bloggers assume that deleting an item will make the problem go away. It doesn't. Your deleted blog will continue to haunt you for 90 days; some times for a much longer period. If the search engines already found and indexed your blog, a cached copy will remain for months on Google servers.

It is much better to change your unwanted blogs into stub blogs, removing all personal details, photos and posts on it. This way you retain control over all your blogs. Here is my stub blog: http://davidchin88.blogspot.com
Better still, change it into a test blog and use it to try out new ideas. Here is my test blog: http://davidchin8888.blogspot.com

but if you insist...
delete blog
Sign on using your ID and password here: www.blogger.com
Go to dashboard and click on:
1. settings
2. basic
(under "blog tools" you have 3 options. One of them is "delete blog")
3. delete blog
4. delete this blog


You are now on your own...

Use the same URL again

Q: I erased a blog address then I wanted to create it in another account but I couldn't. How long could I wait?
A: The assumptions you have made is not correct. Deletion does not solve any problem in Blogger. It merely puts things out of your own reach. When you deleted an URL (blog address), it is locked for 90 days.


change email = change owner (admin)
Make the blog in question into a team blog, with two admins:

Note: Please be aware that images posted by the previous admin may disappear from your blog if you remove the old admin. To avoid this problem, allow your blog to have 2 admins. Do not delete the old admin

Delete blog

Q: How do I remove my deleted blog from my dashboard?
A: Many new bloggers assume that deleting an item will make the problem go away. It doesn't. Your deleted blog will continue to haunt you for 90 days; some times for a much longer period. If the search engines already found and indexed your blog, a cached copy will remain for months on Google servers.

That was why I suggested first to you, not to delete; but to make your unwanted blogs into stub blogs. This way you maintain control of all your blogs, at all times.

URL not available

Q: I have deleted my blog. Why is the URL not available for reuse?
A: Deleting a blog will simply put it out of your reach for 90 days. You need to undelete your blog and do a proper transfer. Make the blog in question into a team blog, with two members, then removing the original team member:

Delete account

Q: How do I deactivate/cancel/close down my Google blog and account?
A: Please read this: http://www.google.com/support/blogger/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=41932

delete profile
Please go to your dashboard and click on "edit profile".
un-check all the boxes (including the first item "share my profile"), remove your photo and clear data in all other boxes (replace data with fictitious info if compulsory) Save profile.

Please don't do it. Deleting a blog merely puts it out of reach. It benefits no one. You lost control of it. Make it instead, into a stub blog. First deleting all the posts on it and removing all other personal details. Then leave it. You can always return to it in the future. Here is an example of a stub blog: http://davidchin88.blogspot.com

but if you insist...
delete blog
Sign on using your ID and password here: www.blogger.com
Go to dashboard and click on:
1. settings
2. basic
(under "blog tools" you have 3 options. One of them is "delete blog")
3. delete blog
4. delete this blog
Be aware that the blog address (URL) is now locked and you cannot reuse it again. You have 90 days to change your mind.

Please delete my blog

Q: Trying to delete a blog from college that comes up when I google myself. No longer have access to the email address used and forgot password!! Please help! I'm getting the run around with support!

A: You get the run around because of this fact: If Google  agrees to delete your blog for you, just because you say so. Then they will become so busy deleting blogs that there is no time left for doing other things: e.g. making more money for the company!

Blog owners must realize that they are responsible for their own blogs and therefore must always make sure that they can sign on to edit/delete their blog. I don't work for Google. I am just another blogger like you, helping out on the forum. Problems like yours is very common:

Blogs are forever?

Q: When I die, what happens to my blog?

A: We had a few descendants of diseased bloggers asking for blogs to be deleted. It is a tedious process because there is no help desk, email address or a telephone number available. You should let some one close to you, know your ID and password so that they can remove your blog from the internet after you pass on.

Deleting a blog

Q: How do I delete my blog?


A: 
Sign on using your ID and password here: www.blogger.com
Go to dashboard and click on:
1. settings
2. basic (
under "blog tools" you have 3 options. One of them is "delete blog")
3. delete blog
4. delete this blog 



Word of caution:
After you have deleted your blog, you may not be able to access it again to edit it. Your deleted blog will remain for up to 6 months in Google's cache.  Spammers might claim it and use it as a porn blog. It is much better to delete all the posts and make the blog into a 'stub' blog, leaving these words on it: 'Stub Blog'; without actually deleting the blog. You may then take it off your blog roll and forget about it forever. 

(Please note that deleting a blog does not make the URL available for reuse.)
