I followed the instructions several times, but I do not receive the confirmation e-mail. I tried deleting it when logged in with the owners account (the account I transfered the blog to) and when logged in as a new user I created from his account. Both accounts are admins. The email-adress in my profile settings is correct.

If you delete it then no one, not you or the new owner, will have access to the url.

I created this blog and transfered it to the owner. He would now like to delete it. I have his login informations, and have tried deleting it, but I do not receive the confirmation e-mail - and neither does he.

The profile that I originally used to create the blog (and transfered it from) is still seen as a user on the blog with the prefix "deletedaccount".

For now I have made the blog private, but I would like to delete it entirely. How to? :-)

If the only reason you are moving is to monetize a blog and use plugins then I'm afraid you will be sad to find out that most bloggers, who move to self hosting with high expectations for making income discover that after their expenses are paid at the end of the year they make only pocket change. Been there - done that.

If you’ve registered your domain through WordPress.com and now want it to point to a blog or website hosted elsewhere then you can do this by updating the nameservers. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/domain-management/
http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/domain-management/#update-nameservers

Alternatively, are you leaving WordPress.com? Would you like to redirect yourblogname.wordpress.com (as well as all of your permalinks) to your new domain name? http://en.support.wordpress.com/site-redirect/

So the new website that'll be on WordPress.org (but with my exported information) will have to start from scratch building traffic and such?

1. Log into the old blog, go to Tools → Export, and download the XML (WXR) file to your computer.
2. In the new blog, go to Tools → Import → WordPress, and upload the file you downloaded in step 1. After you upload the file, you can choose the option to Download & import file attachments if you want to move your media files.

Likes are on individual posts and followers follow specific blogs by their URLs. If you move content to another blog with another URL then I'm not clear if likes and the followers can be transferred so I have flagged this thread for a Staff response.

My client has a wordpress.com site - which is free - she has not upgraded. Now she is thinking of upgrading and we are trying to figure out what the difference is and what happens when she upgrades.....does everything from her current blog transfer and stay the same or does she have to redo everything??
