Apologies, but no results were found. Perhaps searching will help find a related post.

By default the front page of your blog displays all posts. The 404 (page not found) error message on the front page of the blog appeared because the Admin of the blog deleted the placeholder Hello World post. http://en.support.wordpress.com/not-found/ As soon as you publish a post, not a page it will disappear. Read the differences between Pages and Posts.

Do you mean: I want to make the blog private?
http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

Or do you mean: I want to delete the blog forever and never use it again?

Provided you are logged in under the Admin username account you can delete any blog registered under that username by using these instructions. http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/
Deleted blog URLs are not recycled here and you can confirm by reading: http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

Although username accounts are not deleted, so you cannot be impersonated and have your reputation affected by anyone registering the same username in the future, there are steps you can take that amount to removing all personal information and result in leaving only a throwaway email address behind. http://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/

1. You can go to My Account->Edit Profile and remove all data except the account name and an email address. Create a throwaway email address and change the account email to that throwaway address. This only leaves the username behind.

2. To unsubscribe from email sent to you from WordPress.com, go here and click on “Block all subscription emails from WordPress.com”:
http://wordpress.com/#!/following/subsettings/

3. To ensure the account is locked up tightly, visit this site, generate a password of 15-20 characters, and change the account password to it:
