  Howdy tigsandboo!

  Which purchase are you attempting to delete?

  Just a heads up, when you delete your WordPress.com site, it’s permanent. Staff will be unable to restore it once it’s deleted. If you permanently delete the site, you’ll never be able to re-use the WordPress.com address for AT LEAST 2 years (if you’re lucky). To learn how to delete your site immediately or for other alternative solutions, you can follow the instructions listed at https://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/

  It’s suggested by most to put your website to private instead. To this, you’ll need to change your privacy settings.

  Let me know if you need any assistance!

  Have you tried switching to a new theme and then trying to delete it?

  It seems like this has been a recurring issue. You can see it at https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/trouble-deleting-site-because-of-a-never-expiring-premium-theme-purchase?replies=11.

  I have tagged this so it can get the staff’s attention.

  @tigsandboo I can remove the theme for you here. You would not be able to re-use it again, either.

  Also, can you confirm you never want to use tigsandboo.wodpress.com again?

  You can block all WordPress.com email by checking the box next to “Block Emails” in your email delivery settings. There’s a link at the bottom of each subscription email, or you can log in and update your settings here:
  http://wordpress.com/#!/read/subsettings/

  If you want to get rid of the account, please understand the username will be deactivated, and will never be available again. You can remove all sites and profile information, then change your email address to a throwaway and the password to a random string. Or, you can simply leave the account inactive until you’d like to use it again for any of our services.
