  I accidentally created an account (I somehow managed to clicked on a create account icon when trying to log into our other account – and it created an account from my gmail). As we already have another account with wordpress, I need to delete this account. Any tips?

  Hi there!

  Is this created on WordPress.com or WordPress.org?

  If you can clarify, I’ll be able to help further.

  Cheers!

  Hi there,

  WordPress.com accounts cannot be deleted due to security reasons. If you wish to leave WordPress.com, you can just leave your account inactive. Here are the steps you can take to deactivate it:

  If you have any other questions, just let me know and I’ll be happy to help.
