how do I completely erase my account? I don't know why I created it, and don't use it
-
I accidentally created my account, and have never used it, and never will. I want to figure out how to delete/erase/take all of my details off of WordPress and make it as if I never had an account in the first place. I’m finding this difficult to do – can anyone please help?? Thx

Hey there,
WordPress.com accounts cannot be deleted. This is for security reasons so others cannot claim your username and impersonate you.
You can, however, change all of the information and make it throwaway or useless, then there will be no way that your account could ever be linked to you.
Go to https://wordpress.com/me/. Remove all data from the My Profile page. Click Save Profile Details.
Click Account Settings. Remove all information except the username and email address. Change the username to a random name that cannot be connected to you. Create a throwaway email address and change the account email to that throwaway address. Click Save Account Settings.
Click Security. Create a random password or use the Generate Password button to create one for you. Click Save Password.
You can disable all email notifications from your account settings:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/email-notifications/Please note that deleting your site content does not remove indexed content from search engine page results, and we cannot help with that. Google and Bing only clear their caches of deleted indexed content that produces a 404 (page not found) message every 3 – 6 months.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
