Have you always been this crap or did it take practise ?
-
This website / blogging platform may be popular but then so, on the basis of numbers, is Gental Herpes.
I have used other platforms without any difficulty and ben programming since 1982 (yes we did have computers back then).
WordPress sucks and I would like my details eradicated far into the ether
A simple question – asked for the third ******* time – how do I remove my details from storage on your server and erase them until they no more than random bits floating in the great Bouilla Baisse of blogdom.
Thank you for expending energy in answering.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I’ll just say this
To delete your blog (with no content) click on “My Sites” “Settings” and scroll down to “Delete Site”.
To delete your account read this:-
-
Thanks for that, it was appreciated – I had read it but it appeared to do noting to make one’s data unrecoverable – only lock out the ex-user. The deleted data still exists and, in theory, could be accessed by whoever has access to the server(s).
-
There really shouldn’t be any “data” if you create a throwaway email address and password.
-
Except in the first instance we are not advised to “create a throw-away” e-mail address and passowrd.
One has to register (with a verifiable e-mail address) to even see how crap it is. No data is never truly deleted – it is only placed firther beyond recovery unless overwritten (and not even then).
So anyone with access to your servers (lawfully and otherwise) and a few simple freeware tools, can easily recover my e-mail, passord and any other data I may have been coerced into sharing.
It would be different if one made a choice as to whether to share but without provided an e-mail address you cannot peruse any of the options / plans available.
The site navigation would cause Ferdinand Magellan to lose the will to live.

What do you expect me to say in reply? I am just a member like you (were) and have no control over how WordPress.com works. It seems to me that Facebook users give away far more info than WordPress users. Most places you visit be it Google, Amazon, Microsoft with Cortana etc etc harvest data. That’s the modern Interweb I’m afraid.

I think it’s suggested to use a “proper” email address when you sign up so it can be used for things like billing reminders and password resets if they’re ever required.
If you then decide you want to delete your account completely it should be no problem to use a throw-away email as themagicrobot suggested and then pick a password you can then immediately forget. This way your email address won’t still be tied to the deleted site. What other data are you worried about persisting?

@howthebleep I see you’re still making multiple posts. You have been in contact with Darnell elsewhere on the forum who is a WordPress employee. I’d be grateful if you now close this thread.
