  When I started using WordPress a long time ago, I signed up with (email visible only to moderators and staff) (user arbpen) and then I got a self hosted blog. At some point, I also registered WordPress with the email address (email visible only to moderators and staff) (user adrienneboswell)

  The arbpen user has blogs and access to stats for the self-hosted blog, The Good Plate.

  The adrienneboswell user has no blogs or other stuff associated with it. I would like it to be removed/deleted, because I want to CHANGE the email address of the arbpen user to (email visible only to moderators and staff), but, of course it will not let me because adrienneboswell is using it.

  So:
  1. Delete user adrienneboswell
  2. When adrienneboswell is gone, I will change the email address of user arbpen to (email visible only to moderators and staff)

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

  Hi there,

  Unfortunately we do not allow deletion of user accounts. What you can do though is login as “adrienneboswell” and change the email associated with it to something else. Then, logout and login again as “arbpen” and change its email to (email visible only to moderators and staff).

  Change Your Email Address

  Let me know if you run into problems. Thanks!
