  Hello Arne,
  WordPress.com doesn’t have the option to delete an account, but you can cancel email notifications and remove your personal information: https://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/

  As to your blog, you can set it to private so it’s no longer visible to anyone. Go to Settings > General and tick the box next to “I would like my site to be private, visible only to myself and users I choose”. Then click “Save Changes” at the bottom. More info: https://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

  If you’d rather delete your blog, go to Settings > General and click “Delete Site”. Note that this action is permanent. You won’t be able to use the domain again. More info: https://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/
