Delete my account.
-
I have previously provided your site with personal information associated with this email address. Please terminate my account, delete all information and confirm by return email that you have done so.
I would like to receive email confirmation from you that this action has been taken and that I will no longer receive any emails from you, that any information associated with my account, including credit card information and purchase history, has been scrubbed from your servers and those of your affiliates, and that I will not be contacted by your organization again.
Thank you.
(I would like confirmation that any and all information associated with the account has been deleted, i.e. statistics gathering and activities as such will cease to continue, and that any gathered statistics or other information, anonymized or not, encrypted or not, et. al. have been deleted permanently and are irrecoverable.)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.

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”:

This is not what I want.
I want them to permanently and irrevocably delete the account. It is possible for them to do this manually in their database software and that is what I would like for them to do.

Hi there,
Please note that WordPress.com accounts are permanent. You can find more info about that here:

Timethief has provided you all the ways to really scrub your account. I highly recommend following her instructions. Once your site is permanently deleted, and you have unsubscribed from all of our emails you will no longer receive any notifications from us.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!
