  Hi there,

  There is no way to delete a wordpress account once created. You can instead empty your site by removing its content and then delete the site linked to the account. Change your password to random string and leave the account inactive.
  Change email address under Account Settings. This will help in creating another wordpress account in future with same email id as every wordpress account is linked to unique email id.
  Follow this link for detailed information: https://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/

  Note:
  Once you delete your site you can’t have the same domain name. Read the link below before doing so.

  Hope that helps.
