  Hi,

  I have read a few forums topics similar to this one, and from my understanding you cannot delete follows, and you cannot manage them, you may only view who has followed you.
  The reason being that all wordpress.com blogs are public unless set to private under ‘Site Visibility’ in the WP Dashboard, go to ‘Settings > Reading’.

  Basically, if your blog is public you do not have control over who can read or follow your blog.

  The forums i found this info in are linked below:

  I should note that it is possible to turn off the ‘follow’ pop up for users who are logged out of wordpress.com, see here:

  2. I don’t like it. How can I turn it off on my blog? Easy. Go to your Dashboard. Click on Settings, then Reading, then Email. Sorry you don’t like it – but we understand. If you change your mind, this is also the place to go to customize the message new followers (subscribers) will see.

  More traffic for your blog with the follow button
