  How do I delete this account? I have a new one set up called ciel-healing.co.uk so want to ensure that the content on the new one is retained. I am trying to set up a Store in Woo Commerce but it looks like it’s associating with this site and not the new one – how do I fix this?

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  That other site is a self-hosted WordPress.org site, so closing your WordPress.com account via https://wordpress.com/support/close-account/ won’t affect it.

  To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities: https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/

  With that said, if you do purchase any WooCommerce extensions, WooCommerce does use WordPress.com’s account system to manage those purchases.

  So, if you do plan to use WooCommerce, I recommend keeping this account option.

  If you want to delete your WordPress.com site instead, you can by following the steps at https://wordpress.com/support/delete-site/
