    Your page on deleting an account doesn’t actually allow anyone to permanently delete their account, only empty it and lock themselves out. I was wondering if there was a way to simply delete my account permanently?
    Thank you,
    Rachel

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi Rachel,

    I’m afraid there is no way to delete your account permanently. Your right you can just empty your site and then delete the website –– following with changing your personal information to make your account virtually inactive. Only for reference again here is the link:

    Hope this helps, let me know for any further questions.

    Thanks!

    Hey there, I have a similar issue. I want to delete the content of this account Rischenda.wordpress.com as it has photos of me in it and I want privacy. I don’t have login access to it and I want to remove the contents as I am locked out of it and can’t remember the email address I registered it with.
    Please help.

    @budacsikvera: You have to prove some ownership of the account. You can learn more about the <a href="https://en.support.wordpress.com/account-recovery/">account recovery</a> process. You can start a new thread, and someone from the staff can send you an email to your registered email address to help you further. You can start a new thread <a href="https://en.forums.wordpress.com/?new=1">here</a>.

    @rischenda051117: The above information would be useful for you too. One's you gain access to your account you can <a href="https://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/">empty your site</a> and also keep it <a href="https://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/#privacy-options">Private</a> so only the users who get access can view it.

    @altartdesign: I do not see the account exists you can learn more about deleting accounts <a href="https://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/">here</a>. To remove it from Google this document could be helpful: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/6332384?hl=en&ref_topic=1724262&vid=0-635749429504660340-12158368555624983465&rd=1 
    
    For other search engines, there must be a way to report the site. I can help with it if you need any further information. Also, You can start a new thread, so the topics and user remain independent of each other.

    Hope this helps, let me know any further questions.

    Thanks!
