    Hi guys!
    I want to remove my account.
    I don’t want to change the password or my personal information and I don’t have any other email account. I would like to just delete all my data.
    Thanks!

    @aarrkk – Deleting a WordPress.com site does not delete your related account.

    If you choose not to change your personal information or password, then your account will simply remain inactive under the username you signed up with. The Delete Account support doc that fdhly linked to gives the details.

    Hi Guys,

    I tried to delete my account but I got the notification: ‘Warning! You cannot delete a site if it has a domain registration upgrade because you need access to the site in order to get to the domain manager.

    If you do not want to use your site any more please make it private. Other users won’t be able to visit the site but you can still access the Dashboard so you can get to the domain manager.’

    Could someone help me remove mij domain?

    Thank you!

    @marlousettes – Even with a domain upgrade, you will not be able to delete your Account. Please read https://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/

    In order to delete your site, you will need to remove the upgrades. The instructions for doing so can be found here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/#deleting a-site-with-upgrades

    However, if you purchased your custom domain from WordPress.com and intend on using that domain somewhere else, then do as the warning says, change your site visibility to Private so that you can still access the domain manager. Here’s how to do that: https://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

    Do note that you must be logged in with the username account that purchased the upgrades in order to make these changes.
