Safest Way to remove a blog?

[Shop-Sq]

I have a Magento site that is around 4 years old. It has 2 different wordpress blogs on the same domain. domain/blog

domain/nicheblog

I would like to completely remove the 2 blogs as the information on them is of low quality and its outdated information.

What is the safest way for me to remove this content with out having negative effects on my rankings?

thanks

Here is what I would do.

I would look at my analytics to see if any of the posts in these blogs is getting any traffic from search engines or from links on other websites.   If you have some pages that are getting that type of traffic, then I would spend some time to make those pages a lot better.

I would delete the posts that are getting no traffic to very little traffic and 301 redirect those URLs to the homepage of the remaining blog.

If one of these blogs has just a couple pages that seem to be valuable then I would improve the content, place it on the one remaining blog and 301 redirect the original post URL to the new post URL.   Then 301 redirect the rest of the posts on that blog to the homepage of the remaining blog.

If I simply wanted to throw the entire blog away I would 301 redirect everything to the homepage of my website.
