How To Delete a Blogger Account

 
I've been doing some research on
how to delete a blogger account
I inadvertently set up. Oddly
enough, you cannot do this. Here's
what Google says:

How do I cancel my account?

I was a little surprised to learn
that you cannot delete a blogger
account. I inadvertently signed
up for blogger and now I cannot
get rid of this new account. The
account is less than one hour old
at the time of this writing.

I got myself into this situation
because I could not get to my blog
under another email address. Somehow,
I got it in my head that the screen
Google was presenting me with was
on the road to password recovery.

The screen was not on the road to
password recovery. It was a screen
to sign up for a completely new blogger
account.

This is the kind of thing that happens
to me when I act too quickly and too
precipitously. Now I have two blogger
accounts, each associated with a
different email address. The old
blogger account is legitimate, the
new one is not.

Of course, there is the nuclear
option. That's where you delete
all accounts (YouTube, for example)
associated with a given email address.

I don't wish to do that. I maintain
a YouTube account for an organization
I'm associated with. For this reason,
I do not wish to delete all accounts.
If I were to do so, I would end up deleting
a legitimate YouTube account as well.

I guess I'm stuck with a dead and empty
blogger account. This blogger account
has absolutely no posts and never will.
Not only does it not have any posts,
it does not have any blogs either.

No blogs, no posts. What's the point?

Weird, huh?
