  I don’t really know why I opened this account, and I would like it to be deleted, together with the gravatar one. I realised about this just today when I ordered something online and magically a gravatar appeared in my profile on that website. I’m no longer interested in it, and in fact I felt it was sort of intrusive. Please, remove my account and my details as soon as possible. Thank you

  Hi rruizgarcia,

  Here are the options available to you regarding account deletion:

  And removing your avatar:

  As this forum is contributed to by volunteers, we can’t delete your site for you.

  Kind regards,

  So is it simply not possible to delete an account? Is that even legal?

  How can i contact someone who is not a volunteer and has the permissions to delete accounts?

  As far as I know, WordPress staff don’t have privileges to delete accounts.

  This thread explains things very well, I think.

  You can contact WordPress staff at this link if you wish:

  I notice that this thread has also been tagged for staff review, please be patient in this regard as there are not many WordPress staff in this forum!

  All the best,
  cobalteye
