Deleting account

Hello @nicoleamysite,
WordPress.com accounts cannot be deleted permanently once created. But if you still wish to deactivate your account and leave WordPress, then follow these instructions:First Delete Your Site.
And then follow these steps:
STEP 1: Remove Data
Go to My Account > Edit Profile at https://wordpress.com/me/account and remove all the data except the username and email address. Now replace only the email address with a throwaway email address. Do not change the username, this will keep the username from being re-used.STEP 2: Change Account Password
Now change your account password to a strong one. You can use this simple password generator tool by LastPass: https://lastpass.com/generatepassword.php
This is done to ensure that your account is locked up tightly.STEP 3: Hide Gravatar Profile
When you login to Gravatar, you will find a hide button on the bottom right corner of your Gravatar Profile page. Click that.

Even if you deactivate your account your username is not removed from the database, so that it’s not available to any other users when they are registering for a new account. This is done to keep you from being impersonated by anyone else.Hope this helps you. We are sorry to see you go. All the best :)

This needs to be sorted so that my new website is at the top of Google. Please can you clear all information on the website and delete it completely.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting sites and/or site content or making the site private does not remove indexed content from the SERPs (search engine page results) and we cannot help with that. Google and Bing only clear their caches of deleted indexed content that produces a 404 (page not found) every 3 – 6 months. To completely remove an entire page from Google search results after it produces a 404 (page not found):
