Account Deletion
-
I need to delete my account (not just my site/blog, my account). I read that this is not possible, and that I can only change/delete my info, and reset my password to a random string. This is basically just locking myself out of my account, not deleting it. Please advise.

Hello,
Please keep in mind that once you choose to deactivate your account, you’ll NEVER be able to re-use its WordPress.com address again. There are several options you can choose from rather than choosing to deactivate the site permanently. This is something that you yourself will need to do.
* Change your site’s address and keep your content
https://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/* Delete old posts and continue using the same address
https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/edit-posts-screen/#deleting-posts* Empty your site of all its content for a fresh start and continue using the same address
https://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/* Transfer your site to someone else
https://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account* Make your site private so only people you invite can see it
https://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/If you do NOT wish to choose one of the options above and are certain that you wish to delete your site permanently, you can follow this link https://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/
Again, please make certain you will never want to reuse the address, as it will no longer be available for you or anyone else to use after deleted/deactivated.
Hope that helps.

Thanks. Doesn’t help with deleting my actual account at all, but a tech person has emailed me personally to help me with that.
