  Please delete this account. The email used to register it belongs to me but I did not create this account. Someone used my email by mistake.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Sorry to hear someone used your email. You can find how to delete it here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/

  I also tagged this for staff to help with getting this situation sorted out quicker.

  Hi there,

  It’s not possible to delete WordPress.com username accounts, but you can deactivate it using the instructions provided above.

  @eallas

  We’re not able to do any more than what is explained in that support doc, so it doesn’t really help to tag these requests for staff, but thanks for helping :)

  Okay! I’m still learning. I wasn’t sure if staff have the ability for special account deletions. Thanks for the information! You’re welcome and I’m always glad to help!

  @xxalphagamerxx

  Good luck and happy holidays/happy new year!

  Please explain why the account (that I did not create) cannot be deleted. I do not wish this account to exist associated to my email account.
