    I have one main blog and a photography blog, and was going to create a personal blog but I have now decided against that idea. I have hidden that blog but I wanted to know how I delete it completely??

    ok let me put it like this: somewhere, somehow, your blog that you deleted or wanted to delete, is stored on some server somewhere that no one knows. lol whY? this is because pretty much everything on the web finds a way to get stored onto multiple servers throughout the world.

    BUT! if you go and delete the database and all the files, and the domains like the villain said, this will do just fine. and i dont know if your blog was indexed by google, but if it was, it will drop so significantly in rank, that you wont have to worry about people trying to find it.

    Just go to Cpanel, and file manager. Just delete the file/folder where you have installed the wordpress.
    Soo simple.
    thats it.

    Yes, just go into your blog control panel using the login available from your web host company, then go to file manager and delete the directory (folder) where the blog is installed.

    1. Delete the Wordpress folder in your hosting.
    2. Delete the database.
    3. If you are using the same database for multiple websites, then find the tables with specific "Table Prefix" and delete them manually or running a SQL query.

    Once the Database is gone, there is nothing left. Blog is gone. You can delete the database in one click.

    Connect through ftp to your hosting and delete everything in your domain folder. Once completed use phpMyAdmin to delete your blog database. That's it.
