  Hi there,
  WordPress.COM accounts cannot be deleted permanently once created.

  But if you still wish to deactivate your account and leave WordPress, you can follow the instructions given here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/

  IMPORTANT NOTE:
  Even if you deactivate your account your username is not removed from the database, so that it’s not available to any other users when they are registering for a new account. This is done to keep you from being impersonated by anyone else.

  We are sorry to see you go. All the best. 🙂

  PS: Since your account is fairly new, can i ask why are you trying to delete it?

  If you are facing any trouble using WordPress you can always ask questions here on the public forums, we volunteers and staff are always here by your side to help you.

  If you need help getting started on WordPress.COM then here are some resources that might help you out:
