  I want my Account to be deleted, this includes private information such as Name, E-Mail, etc. as well as the stupid profile picture from Gravatar which absolutely has to be deleted!

  Have a nice day~

  Hi there,

  The account cannot be completely deleted. It is set up that way so someone else cannot gain access to your site and pretend to be you.

  If you want to get rid of your account details, follow this link and remove all personal information from your account.

  https://wordpress.com/me/account

  Change your email address to a throwaway address and change the password to something random that you won’t remember to prevent you from gaining access to it in the future. Or, you can just block all emails and keep the account dormant in case you may want to use it again in the future.

  To hide your Gravatar profile:

  Hope that helps.
