Deleting sites
While Wordpress allows you to delete your site (Tools > Delete Site), site data is not actually deleted; it simply becomes inaccessible. If you choose to delete a site, you will not be able to use the URL name again.
For course sites, we recommend bulk deleting comments / posts after the semester ends as one way to reuse your site URL.
You can transfer ownership of a site/URL by adding another user to your site in the Admin role and have that user remove your account.
