Deactivate

I want to deactivate account, I have already deactivated the blogs but now I want no link at all to wordpress. Why can I not deactivate the account? Please deactivate

What you can do is erase everything in your account and set it up with a throw away email, since all you were required to provide upon registration was an email address (and no personal information).
Any personal information that you voluntarily posted can also be removed at any time.
Although username accounts are not deleted, so you cannot be impersonated and have your reputation affected by anyone registering the same username in the future, there are steps you can take that amount to removing all personal information and result in leaving only a throwaway email address behind. http://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/
1. You can go to My Account->Edit Profile and remove all data except the account name and an email address. Create a throwaway email address and change the account email to that throwaway address. This only leaves the username behind.
2. To unsubscribe from email sent to you from WordPress.com, go here and click on “Block all subscription emails from WordPress.com”:
https://wordpress.com/settings/notifications/3. To ensure the account is locked up tightly, visit this site, generate a password of 15-20 characters, and change the account password to it:
http://www.thebitmill.com/tools/password.html4. To hide your Gravatar profile, login and on the bottom right hand corner of your Gravatar profile page you will find a “hide” button visible only to you that you can click.

Hi I would also like to please deactivate my upcoming premium billing. Also I think its a bit dishonest to provide a ‘free’ trial that has no method of deactivation.

Staff claim that you can do this yourself, but I’m seeing a large number of complaints about it indicating you can’t. I flagged this for staff attention.

Hi there!
I’m sorry to hear you want to leave WordPress.com. Is there anything you may need help with before you go?
As bubbleandhearth mentioned, WordPress.com accounts are permanent. You can find more info about that here:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/
And it looks like you’ve already deleted your sites.
If you are trying to unsubscribe from emails sent to you from WordPress.com, go to Email Delivery Settings and click on “Block Emails”:

@jonoedmeades – If you still need help with your upgrades, please open a separate support thread.

@timethief
Not a problem. Sorry you worded it so perfectly and I couldn’t figure out a better way to say it! -
@bubbleandhearth
Backlinking to my comments is cool with me.
Posting them as though you created them is not cool with me.
That is called plagiarizing.
Please do not do it again. -

I never said I wanted to leave WordPress! I just dont want to be billed the $300 after 14 days trial of the Business suite. However, after all this trouble I believe I might. I feel tricked into trying something ‘obligation free’ with no exit!!!Can you please insure I dont get billed on the 31st of March?

Hi there,
You can confirm your billing history at > Dashboard > Store > Billing History and that’s where the transaction numbers are found.You can cancel trial upgrades under Store → My Upgrades in your dashboard at any time.
You must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard to access Store → My Upgrades and Store → Billing History.
I’ll also tag this thread for a Staff follow-up. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.
