  Here’s how to deactivate your account:
  Although username accounts are not deleted, so you cannot be impersonated and have your reputation affected by anyone registering the same username in the future, there are steps you can take that amount to removing all personal information and result in leaving only a throwaway email address behind. http://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/

  1. You can go to My Account->Edit Profile and remove all data except the account name and an email address. Create a throwaway email address and change the account email to that throwaway address. This only leaves the username behind.

  2. To unsubscribe from email sent to you from WordPress.com, go here and click on “Block all subscription emails from WordPress.com”:
  https://wordpress.com/settings/notifications/

  3. To ensure the account is locked up tightly, visit this site, generate a password of 15-20 characters, and change the account password to it:

  4. To hide your Gravatar profile, login and on the bottom right hand corner of your Gravatar profile page you will find a “hide” button visible only to you that you can click.

  Thanks a lot timethief but i really need to delete it.
  Is there some telephone contact number?

  It is a real violation of privacy and i’ll delete also the mail addresse
  associated on it.
  So, is not a problem if i should send a ID or ducumentations about my real identity, i just need a contact support if you have it.

  Thanks e Best regards

  There is no phone number. Contacting support will not change anything. Accounts here are not deleted.
