  From what I know, we cannot delete or block subscribers from public blogs. Anyone is able to access public blogs (hence “public) but there is a setting that will allow a public blog to become a private blog via the Privacy Settings but it deals with the privacy settings for your entire site.
  Please check this out for more information: https://wpcommaven.wordpress.com/2011/09/05/blog-privacy-and-subscribers/

  If you decide to go ahead and change your visibility to Private, take the following steps:
  Go to Dashboard -> Settings -> Reading

  Then scroll down to Site Visibility and select the third option. Here is the support file for that:

  Should you opt to keep your site public, you have the option employ comment moderation. Please see this support file for instructions:

  There are other discussions in the forum that covers your question and you can take a peek at them below:
