  Hi –
  i have a username/password for wordpress.com which I don’t use, but then I also have a wordpress blog through which i login through GoDaddy and I don’t understand how these two are connected but if I don’t need the wordpress.com account then I’d like to cancel it. It also uses an old username in which i deleted my old blog and have now decided to create a new .com website. can you help?

  It seems you have both a WordPress.com website and a self hosted WordPress.org website. If so, they are not connected. If you give me your url’s I can check this for you, and make sure.

  If you don’t know the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, please check out this support document.

  You can’t cancel your old WordPress.com account, but you can follow this guide in order to lock up all your personal information and then walk away from the account https://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/ and you can also check out this extended Staff reply here: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/delete-account-forever-1?replies=3#post-2714085
