Blogging has been popular since the 2000s. Since then, people started sharing stories, reviews, or useful articles through blogging platforms like Blogger (now Blogspot). 

However, as time goes by and you get busier, you may not have updated your content, visual elements, and plugins, leaving your blog looking outdated. Or, it is just because you simply want to delete your blog instead of updating many aspects of it. 

If there's nothing to keep, you can start looking for some information about how to delete a blog to get rid of it. 

This guide will help you step by step on how to delete your blog. So, without any further ado, look at the explanation in this article until the end.

There are several steps you can take to delete your blog, including:

  1. Log in to Blogger. If you have more than one blog, you can select the blog to delete by clicking the down arrow. Then, select the blog to delete. If you only have one blog, then there is no need to go through this step. 
  2. Select Settings in the left menu and enter the settings menu.
  3. In the Manage Blog section, select Remove your blog
  4. A confirmation window will appear to delete the blog and download the data. If you want to export the data, select Download Blog.
  5. If it has already been downloaded or you want to skip the data exporting process, you can select Delete

 

After you delete it, you can still access it for the next 90 days. So, if you want to restore your blog within that time, you can still do so. However, if you don't log in for 90 days, your blog will be permanently deleted.

 

How to Delete a Blog on Blogger Permanently

As mentioned above, your blog will not be deleted permanently and there will be a span of 90 days until it is completely deleted. 

However, if you want to permanently delete your blog right away, you can do the following ways to delete a blog on Blogger. 

  1. Click on the blog you want to permanently delete in the Trashed blogs section
  2. Click Permanently delete.

It's important to note that permanently deleting your blog means you can't restore it at all or use its URL again. The posts, content, and pages on the blog will also be completely deleted.

 

How to Delete a Blog Without Account Access?

Some people also find out if they can delete a blog on Blogger, but don't remember their account information, so they can't log in. 

Don't worry! If you are curious about how to delete a blog on Blogger without access, you can still delete it by following the steps below. 

  1. Recover your Google account. You can fill in the information on this recovery link.
  2. After getting an email, you can recover your login information by accessing the following link.

But, what if you still can't log in? You can fill out the Google form to be able to delete the blog. 

Blogger will delete your blog if it confirms that you are the sole author and owner of the blog. This means that there are no other contributors who co-write or own the blog. 

Bloggers can also only accept blog deletion requests in whole and not in part. So, you need to consider this before deciding to delete your entire blog. 

However, Blogger may not be able to remove the blog even if you are the only author because:

  • The blog is still in the public domain and of general interest.
  • Bloggers cannot verify authorship because users are writing under anonymous accounts or pseudonyms.

 

How to Restore Your Blog on Blogger

After following how to delete a blog on Blogger and the blog is finally deleted, you can still recover it for the next 90 days. The following are some steps on how to restore your blog.

  1. Log in to Blogger with the same account information. 
  2. Select Undelete in the Trashed blog section on the top left. 

 

That was how to delete a blog on Blogger that you can follow in order to delete an unused blog.
