  Hello,

  I accidentally created two accounts. I’d like to delete this one. How can I go about that?

  Thank you,
  Keith

  Hello Keith,
  WordPress.COM accounts cannot be deleted permanently once created.

  But if you still wish to deactivate your account and leave WordPress, you can follow the instructions given here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/

  IMPORTANT NOTE:
  Even if you deactivate your account your username is not removed from the database, so that it’s not available to any other users when they are registering for a new account. This is done to keep you from being impersonated by anyone else.

  Hope this helps. 🙂
