    I would like to permanently delete my wordpress and gravatar account including all my details and email address. I have been recently hacked and this is very important.

    Hi mankurt1984,

    I think someone from the staff can help you if you think you’re hacked.

    This is how you get a moderator or staff member to respond to your question:

    If you feel you want to continue and delete your site and account, check these pages:

    Also it’d be great if you reply to this post and not create multiple posts. I see 5 different posts created by you.

    Don’t worry. Have patience and someone will respond to you :)

    I apparently posted several times since I got an error every time and didn’t think it posted the issue.

    Anyway, I would like to permanently delete all my details and information, an option that every site has to offer. I followed your links and still didn’t found a way to completely delete all my details.

    My accounts all have been hacked recently and I need to urgently delete all of them, it is very unfortunate that there is no option for deleting the account and moreover I cannot contact a support member. Does anyone know how to achieve this?

    Ok I have added the modlook tag. Someone from the staff will respond to you.

    I would like to share this post with you which can help you understand the deletion process in detail –

    And don’t worry, someone from the staff will surely get back to you.

    @mankurt1984 I’ve taken care of removing the duplicate posts that were created. Sometimes that submit button sticks. No worries.

    However, you don’t need to wait for Staff for an answer. If you wish to delete all your contact details, please follow the guidelines in the Support doc that @omkarbhagat linked to:
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/

    and this Staff reply in another forum thread:
    https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/delete-account-forever-1?replies=3#post-2714085

    @omkarbhagat just a word of caution about pointing users to forum threads that are years old, some things change along the way so it is a good idea to locate a more recent reply. Thanks.

    Best wishes

    @omkarbhagat one other thing that will help you are the forum tags. I’ve added the “Delete Account” tag to this thread. Clicking on it will bring you to previous forum threads on the same topic which have been tagged.

    Got it, I’ll keep that in mind.
