  How do I delete a wordpress account? Not just leave inactive out there on the internet, but actually take down completely. Thanks!

  Hi kimberlyannknowsmarketing,

  It’s not possible to delete your WordPress.com account, however, there are few steps that you can do to remove any personal information from your WordPress.com account.

  1) Empty and delete your blog site

  2) Unsubscribe from any email notifications from WordPress.com by changing your email settings.

  3) Remove any personal information from your Account Settings
