  Hello,

  Here’s how to deactivate your account:
  Although username accounts are not deleted, so that you cannot be impersonated, there are steps you can take that amount to removing all personal information and result in leaving only a throwaway email address behind. http://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/

  1. Go to My Account->Edit Profile at https://wordpress.com/me/account 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:
