I've converted your last remaining category to a tag, and you'll get an email when that's done.

Ignoring the tag or deleting it will have the same effect - others won't be able to see it if you never use it.

All your content is now deleted. You can log in and set your site to private (Settings > Reading > Site Visibility) until you're ready to relaunch. Only you will be able to see or find the site when it is private, and as Timethief says, you would never be able to get that URL back, so I strongly recommend this option.

Cheers!

I have tried everything and some stuff just won't delete. I've marked it private so hopefully it never shows up. Just get rid of the whole blog please, I can't find an email address to request this so hopefully at some point it goes through. Very frustrating.

The 404 (page not found) error message on that page of your blog appeared because you 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. http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/

If you don't have a lot of content and don't wish to wait for Staff to delete it for you then you can quickly remove your contents by deleting them in bulk.

I will do a bit more research and How To first. I want to keep the url though!

Thanks!
