  Hello,

  I would like to start completely over with WordPress. I deleted the site I’d made, but my e-mail address is still attached to this username, which I no longer want either.

  Is there any way to use that e-mail address to create a new site, or will I have to make a whole new e-mail account?

  e-mail address is still attached to this username, which I no longer want either.

  Registering an account here required
  (1) your consent to the Terms of Service http://wordpress.com/tos/ and all policies made under it found in the support docs like this one http://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/,
  and
  (2) an email address.

  Any personal information you posted anywhere was posted voluntarily. Both the email address and personal information can be removed or replaced at any time.

  Here’s how to deactivate your account:
  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:

  4. To hide your Gravatar profile, login and on the bottom right hand corner of your Gravatar profile page you will find a “hide” button visible only to you that you can click. http://en.gravatar.com/support/profile-privacy/
