Hello there,
We cannot do this for you. To delete a WordPress.COM hosted blog you must be logged in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog to navigate to Dashboard > Tools > Delete Site.The guide is here http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/
Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/Alternatively, to change blog visibility to Private go to > Settings > Reading scroll to Blog Visibility and choose option 3. See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings
Registering an account here required
(1) your consent to the Terms of Service http://wordpress.com/tos/ and all policies made under it found in the support docs like this one http://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/,
and
(2) an email address.Any personal information you posted anywhere was posted voluntarily. Both the email address and personal information can be removed or replaced at any time.
Here’s how to deactivate your account:
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”:
https://wordpress.com/settings/notifications/3. To ensure the account is locked up tightly, visit this site, generate a password of 15-20 characters, and change the account password to it:
http://www.thebitmill.com/tools/password.html4. To hide your Gravatar profile, login and on the bottom right hand corner of your Gravatar profile page you will find a “hide” button visible only to you that you can click. http://en.gravatar.com/support/profile-privacy/

If and only if you are referring to a site hosted by WordPress.COM and not one hosted by any other web host see here https://en.support.wordpress.com/change-your-username/, read everything twice, and proceed with extreme caution as this is a permanent and irreversible act.

well i have an older account and the problem is that i changed pwd with a random string and changed mail with a dispensable one. the only thing i know is the username and the registration mail

-
the username is alexhdkn and the that i used to create that account is alexhdkn at Yahoo dot com

Okay. I found your profile page here https://en.forums.wordpress.com/profile/alexhdkn
Please complete the form for account recovery at this link https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery and submit it to the Account Recovery Staff so they can contact you by email ie. not on these public support forums which are available to everyone with internet access. Note that there is frequently an account recovery backlog so patience while waiting for a Staff response is required.

thanks. one last question: how can i go past the 3 checkboxes in the second link you posted? i have none of those things!
-
You know the username account you want to recover is
https://en.forums.wordpress.com/profile/alexhdknWhat is the URL of the specific blog you are contacting us about?
You know that too.And, you know what your present email address is.
Complete the form with as much information as you can and submit it to Account Recovery Staff so they can help you off the public support forums by email.

Then provide what you do know. Submit the form to Account Recovery Staff and stop posting here where cannot help you please.

i just discovered that my username is deleted but the profile page is still there, great. i hate how they have no one to talk with by mail or chat.

This is the relevant username account profile page https://en.forums.wordpress.com/profile/alexhdkn
Username accounts cannot be delete here. Read https://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/

i hate how they have no one to talk with by mail or chat.
I feel the opposite way. I am not a cell phone addict. I am a blogger and writer therefore I have excellent reading comprehension skills. My pet peeve is people who refuse to read support docs and act on what they read.
In addition to support options here https://en.support.wordpress.com/help-support-options/ we can email Staff using
help@wordpress.com
or
support@wordpress.comHowever, there is only one means of account recovery https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery so if you email Staff about this then you will be wasting your time and Staff time too.

Hi there,
If you do not have access to the email address associated with the account, or one of the proofs of ownership on the Account Recovery form, we aren’t able to help you regain access to the account.
