How Do I Delete an Old Blogger.com Post If I Don't Have Access to My Email Address or Password?
This article addresses the problem of deleting a post you made on Blogger.com when you no longer remember the email and password associated with your Blogger.com account. Because every Blogger.com account is associated with a Google account and email, instructions are provided for recovering that email, and then for using it to recover the missing password.
When you do not use your Blogger.com account regularly, it can be easy to forget your login information, especially if you regularly blog at other sites. This can be especially problematic if you suddenly realize that you should delete an old blog post there and can no longer access your account. If you can't remember the email address or password associated with your Blogger.com account, you may be able to use the Google account recovery tool to log in again.
If You Have a Linked Phone
You can recover access to the Google account associated with the blog by using the phone number you have linked to the account. Doing so will allow you to recover the email address you need to log in to Blogger.com. Just follow these instructions:
- Go to Google's account recovery page.
- Enter the phone number of the phone you had linked to the account in the text box provided. Google will text a confirmation code to that phone.
- Enter the confirmation code. You will be given recovery information for your Google account, including a list of usernames associated with your phone number. Find the email that was associated with your Blogger.com account.
- Go to Blogger.com's forgotten password page. Enter the Google email address you just recovered in the lower text field.
- Click on the Lookup button.
- You will be sent a code to reset your Blogger.com account password.
- Log in to your Blogger.com account with the new password.
From there, you can easily delete the blog post.
If You Do Not Have a Linked Phone
If you do not have a phone number linked to the Google email account linked to your Blogger.com blog, and no longer remember that email or the password associated with it, you don't have a lot of other options for deleting the post. Your best bet is to contact Blogger.com's customer support service. It has no phone number or chat room, just a help forum.
