  Hello there,

  closing your account deletes all of the sites you own and all their contents. After a few weeks, the data will be entirely removed from our system and at this point the process cannot be reversed.
  
  Cancellation of your subscriptions ensures that you are no longer charged for the subscriptions anymore, also if you would like to start afresh you can try any of the following:
  
  1. Change your username if you are unhappy with it. Deleting an account will not release the username for use later. https://wordpress.com/support/change-your-username/
  2. Empty a site of its posts, pages, and media. https://wordpress.com/support/empty-site/
  3. Delete the website completely (https://wordpress.com/support/delete-site/)
  
  If you are certain you want to close your account then,
  
  **Click on your Profile → Account Settings → Close Your Account Permanently** or follow this direct link https://wordpress.com/me/account.
  
  If you do not see the **“Close your account permanently”** option, this means you have an active plan or domain in your account. You can cancel/delete these through the Manage Purchases section of your account (https://wordpress.com/me/purchases)
