    Hello,
    WordPress.com doesn’t have the option to delete an account. You can just leave it inactive.

    As to your blog, you can set it to private so it’s no longer visible to anyone. Go to Settings > Reading and tick the box next to “I would like my site to be private, visible only to myself and users I choose”. Then click “Save Changes” at the bottom. More info: https://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

    If you’d rather delete your blog, go to Tools > Delete Site. Note that this action is permanent. You won’t be able to use the domain ever again.

    You should have an option! In this case you can still can check your details by email. I mean if I change my detail on my email address – address, mobile number etc. – you can see that. I would like request you please delete my account it is not possible? I think it is not fair…

    Hi,
    I suggest that you read the following link:
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/
    Where you’ll see that you can still remove all your personal information from your account settings and change your password to a random string. “This will prevent you from gaining access to the account in the future.”
