    I don’t use WordPress anymore. The clocklink authority says that putting clocklink clocks in wordpress blogs can’t be used. In fact, how should I delete my WordPress account so I don’t use WordPress anymore?

    While most people don’t delete their accounts, just the posts that they no longer want up, that might be the best way to go. Once you delete your blog, that name can never be used again and if you change your mind…..it is gone. It costs you nothing to keep the blog and is really a non issue for wordpress that you have a blog that you are not using right now.

    If you do want to delete you blog, the process can be started through your Admin => Options => Delete Blog. It requires a confirmation email, but if that is what you really want to do, that is your options.

    I suck at this tctlocomotionride2004, but my old wordpress blog that had 1 post on it, timed out, and my lack of use deleted the viewable content. I don’t know if it would be reborn if I give it new life, but the public viewing is gone.

    @rctlocomotionride2004
    You have linked your wordpress.com username to a vox blog.
    You have provided a link to your “deleted” Blogger blog.

    We do not deal with Blogger accounts and questions here.
    We answer only questions about wordpress.com blogs.

    We cannot tell exactly that you need help with.
    (1) Please state what your wordpress.com blog’s url is.
    (2) And then state what your question about that wordpress.com blog is.

    Moot. Just move on. If the poster can explain what the exact issue is, will be happy to help. He or she has been asked a couple of times now.

    SOS PLEASE ! There’s a blog I’ve been added to as a member. I don’t want to be one anymore. Is there a way to delete my membership from it? If that means to delete completely my account, how should I do it? And thank you very much, I’d appreciate a helpful answer :)

    The blog administrator has to do it. Email him/her and ask them to do it.

    I’ve got the same problem. I want to delete my account. It must be possible because everybody should protect his privacy. It’s everybody’s personal right. I don’t want to be ranked in google or other search enginges with stuff I have written in the past!
    Somebody may use the same username or blogname that is not the problem:
    if somebody misuses my personality I can approach that legally! That should not be the problem of wordpress!!!
    I want to delete my account and my whole datas! WordPress can’t decide on my personal will and privacy!
