  Until recently, I was importing content from my Squarespace site onto my WordPress site. If I permanently delete my WordPress account, will my Squarespace site or domain be impacted at all?

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi @aartus, one simple test is to make the site private:
  https://wordpress.com/support/settings/privacy-settings/

  And then log out, or use an incognito window to go check the other site. If the other site doesn’t break at all anywhere, it’d be fine to go ahead and delete the one here.

  You can also simply leave it private in case you change your mind and want to use that address again. Deleting it would not “free it up” and would instead permanently deactivate that address. So I’d just make it private, and get rid of any unwanted notifications for now:
  https://wordpress.com/me/notifications

  Does that help?
