  I need to completely delete my entire account, not just leave it inactive.

  Hi idonotusethis,

  It’s not possible to delete your WordPress.com account, however, 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: https://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/
  URL: http://support.wordpress.com/settings/delete-blog/

  2) Unsubscribe from any email notifications from WordPress.com by changing your email settings.
  URL: https://en.support.wordpress.com/following/#subscription-settings

  3) Remove any personal information from your Account Settings
  URL: https://en.support.wordpress.com/account-settings/

  4) Change your password to a random string

  You can use this random password generator to generate a random password for you: http://www.thebitmill.com/tools/password.html

  5) While you cannot completely delete your Gravatar profile, you can remove all of your profile information easily through the “Edit My Profile” page here:

  http://en.gravatar.com/profiles/edit/?noclose#about-you

  You can also hide your Gravatar profile from external access. Visit your profile page (click your name in the top navigation of the website), then click the “Hide My Profile” link in the bottom, right-hand corner.

  Let me know if you have any other questions.

  Thanks,
  rutomo
