  I am trying to use bluehost and since I never published anything on WP.com, I simply wish to ablate myself from your hosting service as if I never held an account here. I am having infinite problems tying to transfer from your site to bluehost so I simply want to start again. There is no content to transfer so I am not paying the ridiculous fee. I no longer want my blog title either. So please, just help me be obliterated here and free to move on to bluehost unencumbered.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi avvitale,

  While it’s not possible to delete your WordPress.com account, there are few steps that you can do to remove any personal information from your WordPress.com account.

  1) Empty and delete your blog site

  URL: http://support.wordpress.com/settings/delete-blog/

  2) Unsubscribe from any email notifications from WordPress.com by changing your email settings.

  3) Remove any personal information from your Account Settings

  4) Change your password to a random string

  You can read more about deleting an account on this support help page: https://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/

  Hope that helps and let me know if you have any other questions.

  Thanks,
