  Hi there,

  We do not delete usernames (accounts). They are kept so they cannot be recycled in the future. For more information, please see this link below for a support document that explains in more detail.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/
   
  If you are concerned about any data from your account still being out there, here are some steps you can take to scrub your account clean:
  Remove all of the content from your site.

  Delete the site following the below instructions.

  You can also go to your account page and profile page to remove all data except the account name and an email address. You can create a dummy email address and change the account email to that address. That way, only the username will be left.
  https://wordpress.com/me/account/

  https://wordpress.com/me/notifications/subscriptions
   
  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:

  You cannot completely delete your Gravatar profile either, but you can remove all of your profile information easily through the “Edit My Profile” page.

  Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
