  Hi there,

  Hi there,

  There is no way to delete a WordPress account once created.
  You can instead leave you account inactive by following this:

  1) Delete Contents
  Empty your site by removing its content https://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/
  and then delete the site linked to the account. https://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/

  2) Change your password to random string and leave the account inactive.

  3) Change email address under Account Settings. This will help in creating another WordPress account in future with same email id as every WordPress account is linked to unique email id.
  Follow this link for detailed information: https://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/

  Note:
  Once you delete your site you can’t have the same domain name. Read the link below before doing so.

  If you don’t want to do it yourself you can add modlook tag in sidebar to get staff assistance.

  Hope that helps.
