    I have tried to delete my site for fearfreefoods.wordpress.com twice from the “delete blog” sign and it still has not deleted it. I also would like to remove my account all together and cannot seem to find where to do so. Please let me know how I can remove all postings and also delete my account as soon as possible. Thank you!

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

    IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting blogs or content in them does not remove any indexed content from the SERPs (search engine page results). Google and Bing only clear their caches of deleted indexed content that produces a 404 (page not found) every 3 – 6 months.

    What is the URL starting with http:// of the blog you say has not been deleted?

    fearfreefoods.wordpress.com is no longer available.
    The authors have deleted this site.

    All you were required to provide to register an account was an email address and it can be replaced at any time.

    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”:

    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:
