  Hi, I am new to this blog game. I did signup for an account in wordpress.com but on some further research I think I need to be with wordpress.org so I can add in plugins and create landing pages with thrive. How do I go about cancelling my account at .com ?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hello @robintait3,

  WordPress.com provides site owners with the ability to delete their own websites; that process is described here. The most important thing to realize is that site deletion permanently deletes that URL, and it can never be used again. The page I linked provides some less destructive alternatives for you to consider, as well.

  It is not possible to delete a WordPress.com account. If you just want to dissociate all personal information with your account, here is a guide for doing that.

  Hope that helps! I wish you luck with WordPress.org.
