  Hello there,

  WordPress.com doesn’t allow to delete any 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:
  – Empty your site: https://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/
  – Delete your site: https://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/
  – 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

  Let me know if all is clear and if you have any questions about this, glad to help!
  Cheers!
