  Hey there @aachera,

  You cannot actually delete a WordPress.com account per se, but you can delete all of the information there:

  1) You can go to My Account → Edit Profile to remove all data except the account name and an email address. Create a throwaway email address and change the account email to that throwaway address leaving only the username behind.

  2) To ensure the account is inaccessible, generate a strong password and make that your new account password:

  3) To learn how to hide your Gravatar profile, please read “How do I hide my profile?” section of the Gravatar help page:
  http://en.gravatar.com/support/#answer-1-8

  For more info on Deleting Accounts, including how to unsubscribe from emails, check out our support page on the matter:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/

  Hope this was helpful. Please let me know if you have other questions!

  All the best,
  Travis

  Oh and one last note: please be sure you actually want to delete your information before proceeding, and backup anything you don’t want to lose permanently! Once deleted all your info is irretrievable.
