Account consolidation, i.e. deleting one account
-
I have two accounts – professional and personal. I would like to consolidate my accounts into one without causing too much disruption. I am struggling to make this happen. Can you please help? Is there someone I may speak to? I’m on [personal details redacted by staff]. Thank you very much. Robyn Massey @robynmassey

Hi there. First-off, this is a public forum accessible to anyone with an internet connection, so please don’t post person info like phone numbers here. I’m tagging this thread for staff so they can remove that.
To have both your blogs in the same account, follow the instructions here to transfer a blog to a different user: http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-wordpress-com-user-or-account
As for the unused account, it’s not possible to delete it. This is for security reasons so others cannot claim your username and impersonate you. http://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/
The only details you were required to provide when signing up for your account was an email address. WordPress.com will never send you spam to that email address and also won’t sell it to third parties, as clearly stated in their privacy policy.
If you change that email to a throwaway address there will be no way your account could ever be linked to you. Any other details that you added yourself, you also have the power to delete yourself. See timethief’s instructions in this thread on how to do that: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/delete-account-276?replies=2
