  Hello,

  I want to delete my account, not the site.
  I’ve created an account on another email and have use for this one. I may do one day in the far future, but not now. I would like to complete delete my account on this email address and any sites linked to it.

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

  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/

  Hey there,

  Strikebuys has hs definitely started you in the right direction. As he has stated, you cannot delete a WordPress.com account for good, but you can empty it out from all your data and leave it inactive.
  If you are looking for more info after going through his link, here are some links instead that will guide you through the process of deleting your site’s content:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/

  This action is permanent and cannot be reversed so only delete content you are sure you won’t need it again in the future.

  To remove all personal information from your account settings have a look here:

  Account Settings

  Thanks Strikebuys-And I hope this further helps, number7yet.

  Good luck :)
