  I wish to delete my account. I signed up to Gravatar and have now found it’s ‘owned’ by WordPress. I no longer wish to have a Gravatar account and certainly don’t want a WordPress one. There is no apparent way to do this on the site (which is illegal by more than one countries laws by the way).

  Hello,

  When you sign up for Gravatar it also doubles as a WordPress.com account because they are owned by the same company.

  It is not possible to delete a Gravatar/WordPress account, however you can insert dummy information and then leave the account.

  I hope this helps :)
