Deleting a Blogger Blog

• Start off by logging into your Blogger account, if you haven’t already done that.
• Arrive at the Dashboard, where you can choose the blog that you want deleted. However, take care that you arrive at the correct place, especially if your account hosts multiple blogs.
• Follow this path, Settings -> Basic.
• In case you feel that there is a possibility of you coming back to the blog some day in future, simply locate the export blog tool and use it to export the blog that you have lined up for deletion. This can be done by clicking on the option ‘Export Blog’, found within the ‘Blog Tools’ tab. If, however, you are sure you won’t need this blog in future simply ignore this step altogether.
• Again head into the ‘Blog Tools’ tab and click the link titled ‘Delete Blog’. Doing so will transport you to the place where blogs can be deleted.
• When here, make sure to double check if the correct blog is lined up for deletion. You can do this by ticking the box next to the blog that you want deleted.
