Should I noindex the old site after moving or it's preferred to remove it

I moved from wordpress.com that was mapped to a domain A.net to another domain B.com for 8 months ago.

Now the mapping between domain A.net and wordpress.com is expired but still domain A.net redirects (301) to domain B.com

So what Should I do,

  • Remove Wordpress.com site permanently.

  • Extend the wordpress.com mapping with domain A.net

  • Discourage search engine to index Wordpress.com (I set this option for 1 month ago)

  • Actually, I lost 100% rank from google, so if I rollbacked the move and remapped the Wordpress.com to domain A.net after enabling the discouragement of the search engine option, it will go back to its old rank!
