  Hi @gracegetslost,

  I want to delete my account, email all of it. not just my site.

  WordPress.com accounts cannot be deleted. Please refer to the following documentation regarding this policy:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/

  However, there are a number of steps you can take to ensure your account, and any sites associated with your account, remain inaccessible and inactive to both you and the public (some of which I see you’ve already done, so that’s great):

  – empty Site (https://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/)
  – delete site (https://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/)
  – remove personal information from Account Settings (https://en.support.wordpress.com/account-settings/)
  – change your password to a random string (https://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/#change-your-password)
  – unsubscribe to any WordPress.com email notifications (https://wordpress.com/me/notifications/subscriptions)

  Can you actually get help from the people at wordpress, or is everything public?

  Yes, you can. If you have any specific questions or need assistance that might require the help of staff, use the modlook tag and add it in the sidebar.
