    How do I completely delete this account! There must be an easier way than deleting every little thing one by one and half of them not getting deleted, even when changes are saved.
    YOU NEED A HUGE SING For getting out of this mess.

    You can’t completely delete an account at WordPress.com. You CAN completely delete a blog, by going to Dashboard->Tools->Delete, but be aware neither you nor anyone else will ever be able to use that URL again if you do that.

    Once you delete the blog everything you’ve posted goes away, you might want to export an XML file to your hard drive first.

    If all you want is the content removed, everything gets deleted faster if, while you’re in your All Posts page, you change the number of posts you can see at one time. There’s a little tab in the upper right corner called “Screen Options”, you can fix it to see up to 400 posts on a single page. Then you can delete them all at once.

    Deleting the blog is unnecessary, you can set it to Private and use it as free storage space. Nobody but you will ever see it again.

    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”:
    http://wordpress.com/#!/following/subsettings/

    3. To ensure the account is locked up tightly, visit this site, generate a password of 15-20 characters, and change the account password to it:
