  Hi temptationshove,

  Closing your WordPress.com will not remove the comments you have posted on other sites. The data associated with your account such as sites, logins, and gravatars will be deleted.

  Comments are separate form of information because they are submitted to another person’s site. Therefore, you would need to contact the site owner to ask for the comments themselves be removed.

  I hope this helps!

  @gemmacevans would it be possible to add a note about this to the Close My Account support guide? https://en.support.wordpress.com/close-account/
