  I would like to delete my WordPress account and cannot find where to do so on the website. I do not have any sites or upgrades. Am just looking to reduce digital footprint. Assistance is appreciated.

  Although accounts can’t be deleted they can be rendered inactive which is virtually the same thing by following these instructions:-

  PS – one of the reasons accounts can’t be deleted is so someone else can’t get your old account name and impersonate you.
