  I set up a free website about 15 years ago. Since then I have changed emails and I cannot access the website to delete it. Can anyone help? Very frustrating trying to do a simple task.

  Actually, it is unlikely that anyone can help. Accessing places on the Interweb where you log in such as a bank, utility company or here at WordPress.com is a simple task as long as you wrote down and saved your username and password. Without them (and If you didn’t think to update your email address associated with the place in question when you changed it) you are probably out of luck I’m afraid.
