You were asked only for an email address to create a username account. You provided any other information voluntarily and you can remove it and also replace the email address at any time.
Provided you are logged in under the Admin username account you can delete any blog registered under that username by using these instructions. http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/
Deleted blog URLs are not recycled http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/Although username accounts are not deleted, so you cannot be impersonated and have your reputation affected by anyone registering the same username in the future, there are steps you can take that amount to removing all personal information and result in leaving only a throwaway email address behind. http://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/
1. You can go to My Account->Edit Profile and remove all data except the account name and an email address. Create a throwaway email address and change the account email to that throwaway address. This only leaves the username behind.
2. To unsubscribe from email sent to you from WordPress.com, go here and click on “Block all subscription emails from WordPress.com”:

The instructions at http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/ “In your site’s dashboard, go to Tools → Delete Site” does not work for me. There is no “delete site” and no Tools drop down menu… just info about Press This and Post by Email. What do I do?
