  How do I delete my blog and my account as well?
  And will I able to start a completely new blog with the same email address?

  Hi there,
  You don;t have to delete your account if you want to use the same email id and create a new blog with a different blog name.

  You can just delete your site.
  Read more about deleting a site here:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/

  NOTE: Once a site is deleted you cannot use the same blog address again and also the deleted site cannot be recovered.

  WordPress.COM accounts cannot be deleted permanently once created. However if you wish to leave WordPress then read this support document: https://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/

  And also, if you delete this account you cannot use your email address again. Read the support document for more info.

  Hi there,

  One more point I would like to add here. If you wish to have same site address for your new blog, go for emptying you site instead of deletion.
  You can empty your site by deleting all of its contents- posts, pages, media etc. Follow this link for step by step description : https://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/

  Once you empty your site you can start from scratch. Refer this link : https://wordpress.com/start/site/

  Hope that helps.
