  Hi there,

  The user account itself cannot be deleted. It is set up that way to prevent someone else from gaining access to your site and pretending to be you.

  If you want to get rid of your account details, follow this link and remove all personal information from your account.

  https://wordpress.com/me/account

  Change your email address to a throwaway address and change the password to something random that you won’t remember to prevent you from gaining access to it in the future. Or, you can just block all emails and keep the account dormant in case you may want to use it again in the future.
