  I just deleted my blog and I will never use this site again and I was just wondering how I could delete my account. I know it says that I cannot delete it but I would really like to do so that I don’t have another account floating around.

  You cannot delete your wordpress.com username account. This is for security reasons so others cannot claim your username and impersonate you. http://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/ But you can remove all personal information you added and effectively deactivate your account so no one will be able to access it. See timethief’s instructions in this thread on how to do that: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/delete-account-276?replies=2
