    Hi,

    I would like to delete this account as I have another account.

    Could someone please help delete this?

    Thank you.

    Hi @sriramsrangan,
    Sorry but we can’t delete the account on your behalf, you have to act on it yourself.

    Follow these instructions to delete your account. But, I must tell you that WordPress.COM accounts are not deleted completely.

    First Empty and Delete Your Site.

    And then follow these steps:
    STEP 1: Remove Data
    Go to My Account > Edit Profile at https://wordpress.com/me/account and remove all the data except the username and email address. Now replace only the email address with a throwaway email address. Do not change the username, this will keep the username from being re-used.

    STEP 2: Change Account Password
    Now change your account password to a strong one. You can use this simple password generator tool by LastPass: https://lastpass.com/generatepassword.php
    This is done to ensure that your account is locked up tightly.

    STEP 3: Hide Gravatar Profile
    When you login to Gravatar, you will find a hide button on the bottom right corner of your Gravatar Profile page. Click that.

    STEP 4: Unsubscribe from WordPress Email’s
    To stop receiving emails from WordPress, go here: https://wordpress.com/settings/notifications/ and click on “Block all subscription emails from WordPress.com”.

    Check this out for more information:

    IMPORTANT NOTE:
    Even if you delete/deactivate your account your username is not removed from the database, so that it’s not available to any other users when they are registering for a new account. This is done to keep you from being impersonated by anyone else.

    Hope this helps. :)
