  Please delete my account from your system. I am not using it anymore. There has to be a better solution than me changing my PW to ‘a random string so I can’t get access anymore’. Please advise

  Hello,

  Username accounts cannot be deleted, this protects you from anyone registering the same username in the future.

  1. 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. This only leaves the username behind.

  2. 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:
