  Is it possible to delete a profile after it’s created?

  Exactly what do you mean by a profile please?

  Very few themes have an author profile that displays below every post. The data is derived from here > Dashboard > Users > My Profile > About You (section) and anything you add there appears on your Gravatar profile page as well. Any changes made there are not reflected on the blog itself. They are reflected only the Gravatar profile page.

  If you want a profile to display on the blog then you create an About page. http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/#create-a-new-page
  On that About page you can also include a blog description. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2011/04/06/why-about-pages-are-essential/

  If what you are asking is how do I delete my twyllaplett2013 username account please read what follows.

  All you were required to provide to register an account here was an email address that can be replaced at any time.

  Any personal information that you voluntarily posted can also be removed at any time.

  Although username accounts are not deleted, so you cannot be impersonated and have your reputation affected by anyone registering the same username in the future, there are steps you can take that amount to removing all personal information and result in leaving only a throwaway email address behind. http://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/

  1. You can go to My Account->Edit Profile and remove all data except the account name and an email address. Create a throwaway email address and change the account email to that throwaway address. This only leaves the username behind.

  2. To unsubscribe from email sent to you from WordPress.com, go here and click on “Block all subscription emails from WordPress.com”:

  3. To ensure the account is locked up tightly, visit this site, generate a password of 15-20 characters, and change the account password to it:

  4. To hide your Gravatar profile, please read “How do I hide my profile?” section of the help page: http://en.gravatar.com/site/faq/#answer-1-8

  IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting blogs and/or blog content does not remove any indexed items from the SERPs (search engine page results). Google and Bing only clear their caches of deleted indexed content that produces a 404 (page not found) every 3 – 6 months.
