  Hi, I’d like to delete this account. Can you please delete it for me? The only advice I got from the Help section was to change the password so I couldn’t log in again. But I don’t want to just not be able to access it — I want to delete the entire account. Thanks.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Yeah, I found that. Like I mentioned in my previous post, it only talks about changing the password to a random string so I can’t login again.

  I want to delete my account, not set a random password I’ll forget about but have the account still exist. Is this not possible?

  The only option is inactivation of your account. This prevents anyone being able to register the identical user account in the future and impersonating you or harming your reputation.
