  Hi @judell31,

  User accounts cannot be deleted, however, you have a couple options if you are sure you no longer want to use your account:
  1) To leave WordPress.com, you can stop using your account which will leave it inactive.

  2) Remove all of your personal information from your Account Settings and change your password to a random string (but make sure you understand that you won’t be able to access it anymore).

  Here’s a link to more information on this:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/

  This is all assuming that you have already cleared the contents of your site. If not, here’s a link with information on the steps you need to go through to clear your content: http://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/

  Please keep in mind that once you choose to deactivate your account, you’ll NEVER be able to re-use its WordPress.com address again. If you think you might want to use it again there are other options I can share with you.
