    I tried to close my account, but was told there was a problem and to contact support.

    Hi,

    Please refer to this guide
    https://wordpress.com/support/close-account/

    I hope it should help.

    Thanks

  • Hi there,

    You have an active subscription for the Akismet anti-spam plugin that is tied to this account. Please contact Akismet support directly for help to cancel that:

    @adarshhalan
    , the OP indicated they already tried closing their account and saw a message that they need to contact support. Pointing them to the instructions for the process they’ve already tried is not helpful in this case. Please tag threads like these for staff instead, as that error message typically indicates an issue on the account that only we can help with.

    Thank you for your replies.

    Eventually I realized I’d used the wrong username, missing two numbers on it.. And since I couldn’t log in with my email (even though it says you can use either your username or email!) and I only kept getting the “wrong password” error message I thought it was a password issue.
    No wonder changing my password didn’t help!

    Once I did manage to log in I didn’t see any active plug-ins listed nor could I find my way to Akismet. As you can tell I’m not that tech-savvy.. J

    I could not delete my account so instead I emptied my blog of all its contents so now I have another question:

    If I keep my wordpress account, but have no blog for the moment, what should I do with my Akismet subscription? Do I need it regardless of whether I’m blogging or not?

  • Hi there,

    The Akismet subscription is for theworldofsatubell.com. That site used to be connected to your WordPress.com account.

    Please contact https://akismet.com/contact/ to resolve this.
