  Hi, I didn’t realise how long and stressful creating a blog was and I was to delete mine. Sorry for the hiccup however could you possibly do this for me because I cannot seem to find where to do it. Thanks!

  Hi @gammanews,

  You cannot delete a WordPress.com account for good, but you can empty it out from all your data and leave it inactive.
  Here are the steps to make sure that any of your personal data can’t be fetched once you decide to leave WordPress:

  – Empty your site: https://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/
  – Delete your site: https://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/
  – Remove all personal information from your account settings: https://en.support.wordpress.com/account-settings/
  – Change your password to a random string: https://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/#change-your-password

  Hope this helps. If you get stuck at any step, just let me know – alternatively type modlook in the tag box of this thread to notify the Staff that you need assistance.
  Cheers!
