  Under Myblogs I do not see my blog so I cannot delete it. Any ideas how to do this?

  Hi @jelenam2014

  I don’t show any blogs attached to your username so there are no blogs to delete.

  We’€™re sad to see you go, but happy to help you wrap things up.

  Since we don’€™t want other people to have your username in the future, we don’€™t delete usernames (they are kept so they cannot be recycled). For more information, please see this link below:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/

  Here’€™s a few suggestions for you if you’d like to scrub the account:

  1) If you are trying to unsubscribe from emails sent to you from WordPress.com, go here and click on “Block Emails”:

  https://wordpress.com/me/notifications/subscriptions

  2) You can also go here to 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 will only leave the username behind:

  https://wordpress.com/me/account/
  https://wordpress.com/me/profile

  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:

  Is there anything else you need help with before you go?
