delete my blog and account
-
I would like all my blogs deleted and my account deleted please.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Deleted blog URLs are not recycled http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/
That’s why I recommend making the blog private and using it for testing and as a backup blog instead. http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/
Provided you are logged in under the Admin username account that registered the blog in question you can delete any blog registered under that username by using these instructions. http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/
After you do that if you cannot locate a verification email, look in your email client spam/junk mail filter for the email with the blog deletion verification link in it and click that link. If clicking it does not work then copy and paste the link into your upper browser bar and click.
You were asked only for an email address to create a username account. Many of us choose to have separate email addresses for our blogs rather than using our primary personal email addresses.
You provided any other information voluntarily and you can remove it and also replace the email address with a throw away email address 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”:

Google and Bing only clear their caches of deleted indexed content that produces a 404 (page not found) every 3 – 6 months.
