  Hello, I cannot delete my account but I have to.
  If it is not possible, I would like to disable at least my Gravatar account.
  This is because I have my own blogs (not wordpress.com but a wordpress.org in my domain and my hosting), and I don’ t know why my default avatar is Gravatar and I cannot change it in the default avatar.
  This is a law problem because my site results tracking visitors with Gravatat tracker, and I want to disable all trackers from why website because of the cookie law.
  Thank you for your understanding, I hope to solve.
  Good day.
  Simone

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

  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:

  4. 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.
