  I had somebody create a wordpress site for me a few years ago, me and that person are no longer in contact and I dont have access to the login information, however the website no longer represents my company and I wish to disolve it. I can provide proof that I own the company.

  Hello @jerseypestcontrol,

  I’m sorry to hear that, I’m sure it’s frustrating. Unfortunately, the only way to delete a website on WordPress.com is by having access to the original account.

  Your best bet is to try to get in contact with the person who owns the account that created the site. They can either delete the site or transfer account ownership to you.

  I’m sure this isn’t what you wanted to hear, but I wish you luck in contacting the original account holder.
