Question

I want to delete a picture that's on someone else's blog. I did not take it and I want it removed. What should I do?

Community Answer

If you do not own right to the picture, you cannot order it to be removed. However, you can report it to the Tumblr staff as offensive, and they can decide if it needs to be removed.

I want to delete my account, but it keeps telling me my password is incorrect, what do I do now?

Try changing your password and logging in using the new one. You will have to confirm a link on an email to prove your identity and that you are not a robot.

Question

How do I delete a blog and keep the secondary blog on Tumblr?

Community Answer

It depends on what blog that is. If it's your primary blog, you cannot delete that without deleting your entire account. If it's another side blog, you can delete that easily without deleting any other blog.

Question

Can you delete your primary blog to turn a secondary blog into the new primary one?

Sanka Izayaka

Community Answer

By deleting your primary blog, your entire account will be deleted. So, no. However, you can create a new Tumblr account, or change your main account's username to that of your side blog.
