  Hello bekkibluefox,

  You cannot delete a WordPress.com account for good, but you can empty it out from all your data and leave it inactive.

  Here are the steps to make sure that any of your personal data can’t be fetched once you decide to leave WordPress:

  – Empty your site: https://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/
  – Delete your site: https://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/ (please note that this action can’t be undone once it’s triggered, and you won’t be able to re-use your site address URL anymore).
  – Remove all personal information from your account settings: https://en.support.wordpress.com/account-settings/
  – Change your password to a random string: https://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/#change-your-password

  Hope this helps! If you get stuck at any step, just let me know and I’ll be glad to help. Cheers!
