  Hi

  I would like my account deleted permanently please as I no longer use it.

  I have read your guide on account deletion but don’t agree with the solution of creating a throwaway email account – sorry!

  Thanks in advance

  Chris

  PS written as a direct email as cannot find another means of contacting wordpress directly.

  Hello there, currently it is only possible to deactivate an account by following the guide you mentioned at https://en.support.wordpress.com/account-deactivation/

  The new email address doesn’t have to be a throwaway address, just one not linked to your current or any other WordPress account. If your email provider allows you to use aliases, that could provide a solution.

  Hope that helps and best wishes.
