  I made a mistake and made two accounts and need to delete one. How do I do that?

  WP.com: Yes
  Jetpack: No
  Correct account: Yes

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

  Hi @marfamydear! No problem. Here are the steps I’d recommend; a few of them are optional:

  • Choose which username/account you want to keep
  • If the other (bad) username has a si8te you want to keep, transfer it to the good account
  • If the other (bad) username has the email address you want to use, change its email address to something else, and confirm the changes. That will “free up” the address for your good account.
  • Finally, when the bad account has nothing left tha you want, you can go ahead and delete it like so
