I think I will go to the bulk delete. It sounds like it just sits empty until I re-vamp it right? That's what I am assuming. I guess I'm used to another blog site that offers the option of not publishing it and kind of putting it on the back burner. Just wanted to make sure I understood the options. Thanks!

If not, you can just go to your dashboard Posts page and use the bulk editor to set all your existing posts to Private.

Hello there,

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.
bulk delete images & media http://en.support.wordpress.com/media/deleting-files/#bulk-deletion
bulk delete posts > http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/edit-posts-screen/#bulk-edit
bulk delete pages > http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/edit-pages-screen/#bulk-edit
Here's how to permanently delete Trash >
http://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/

Alternatively, you can tag this thread with modlook in the sidebar and Staff can empty the whole blog for you, but that will remove all data including posts, pages, tags, categories, comments, and uploaded files. Once deleted, the data cannot be recovered. If you are sure you want Staff to proceed, please reply to confirm the URL of the blog you want them to empty.

Also, is there a way to retain the blog name/url but make it inactive while not using it?

Thanks,
