  Hi, I was wondering if my account could be terminated immediately?

  Last year I had joined a site as a contributor but since have cut ties with the owner (who I found to be a racist) and am worried he may leak the details of my account and other personal information associated with it.
  
  It is late here, and I may not be able to reply for several hours but need this to be done immediately. Thanks in advance.

  You can and must close your account yourself as described at https://wordpress.com/support/close-account/

  BUT before doing so, carefully read the caveats as deleting an account is irreversible.

  Hey there,

  We are not able to delete the account on your behalf but would be happy to assist you with this process. I am not seeing any purchases associated with your account so you can close it permanently by opening your account settings by selecting your Profile in the upper right-hand corner. Then select Account Settings on the left and at the bottom of the page select Close your account permanently. You can also follow the instructions listed here as mentioned by @staartmees:

How to Close Your Account To permanently close your WordPress.com account, follow these steps: Consider if you need to close your account by reviewing these alternatives first. Cancel any active

  Hope this helps!
