  Howdy,

  Since we don’t want other people to have your username in the future, we don’t delete usernames (they are kept so they cannot be recycled).

  After you’ve deleted your WordPress.com blog(s), here are a few suggestions for you if you really want to scrub the account:

  1. You can go to the Settings tab on the WordPress.com home page and 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. This only leaves the username behind.
  2. To ensure the account is locked up tightly, visit this site, generate a password of 15-20 characters, and change the account password to it.
  3. To learn how to hide your Gravatar profile, please read “How do I hide my profile?” section of the help page.
