I would like you to delete my account and blog.
I find it very annoying and unnecessarily complicated and slow to do things.
thank you in advance
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hello there,
To delete a free hosted WordPress.COM blog you must be logged in under the exact same username account that registered a blog to delete the blog. To prevent accidental or inadvertent deletion of blogs, there are multiple warnings given that blog deletion is permanent and irreversible. Lastly, a verification link is sent in an email and must be clicked to delete a blog. If clicking that link does not work then copy and paste it into your upper browser window and click.

Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting blog content and deleting blogs does not remove any indexed content from the SERPs (search engine page results). Google and Bing only clear their caches of deleted indexed content that produces a 404 (page not found) every 3 – 6 months.
Here’s how to deactivate your account:
All you were required to provide to register an account here was an email address that can be replaced at any time. Any personal information that you voluntarily posted can also be removed at any time.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:

good answer thanks.
i still think that wp should be able to delete accounts. is that legal?
-
-
i see. people are also killed legally so why is so strange…
however i believe i should have the right to delete something i don’t want or need. -
I suggest you drop the drama. No one held a gun to your head or knife to your throat and compelled you to enter a contract with WordPress.COM. We both know that and you have the instructions I provided above, so you will either act on them or not, as is your prerogative. This conversation is over.
-
THERE IS NO DRAMA AT ALL, I STILL THINK, AND SURELY MANY AGREE THAT I OR OTHERS SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO DELETE AN ACCOUNT.
THERE WAS NO CONVERSATION, YOU DID NOT HELP, I ALREADY KNEW WHAT YOU WROTE, SO YOU JUST LOST TIME
-
If you already knew what I provided then you wasted your own time time by posting only for the purpose of grandstanding. The minute you tried to create a parallel between contract law which provides you with the ability to deactivate your account and killing people you were in the realm of drama. SHOUTING! will get you nowhere. It’s simply reveals your intent from the outset was to perform like any griever troll does and I will not applaud your performance.
