Account Deleted
-
I would like my account to be permanently deleted.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Staff cannot and will not delete/deactivate your account for you. However, you can act on what follows.
Here’s how to deactivate your account:
Although username accounts are not deleted, so you cannot be impersonated and have your reputation affected by anyone registering the same username in the future, there are steps you can take that amount to removing all personal information and result in leaving only a throwaway email address behind. http://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/1. You can go to My Account->Edit Profile at https://wordpress.com/me/account and remove all data except the account name and an email address. Create a throwaway email address and change the account email to that throwaway address. This only leaves the username behind.

2. To unsubscribe from email sent to you from WordPress.com, go here and click on “Block all subscription emails from WordPress.com”:
https://wordpress.com/settings/notifications/3. To ensure the account is locked up tightly, visit this site, generate a password of 15-20 characters, and change the account password to it:

IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting sites and/or site content or making the site private does not remove indexed content from the SERPs (search engine page results) and we cannot help with that. Google and Bing only clear their caches of deleted indexed content that produces a 404 (page not found) every 3 – 6 months. To completely remove an entire page from Google search results after it produces a 404 (page not found):

“Automattic may terminate your access to all or any part of our Services at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice, effective immediately.”
I just have to go against your tos to have my account terminated “effective immediately.”

Terms of Service are a binding contract and apply to all policies made under them like this one http://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/

Yes, wordpress.COM Staff can terminate your site if it is breach of Terms of Service/. I have been here for over 11 years. I predate support docs and all but one support staff member being on staff. My kind advice is do not spin your wheels and waste your time. Instead do what I posted here https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/account-deleted-8?replies=4#post-3005907
