  Hello,

  You can deactivate your account, however, username accounts cannot be deleted to keep anyone from registering the same username in the future.

  Before deactivating your account, you will first need to empty and delete your site, for instructions please: https://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/

  Once you’ve deleted your site, go to My Account->Edit Profile at https://wordpress.com/me/account 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.

  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:
