    Hi,
    Follow these instructions to deactivate your account. But, I must tell you even if your account is deactivated, some of your data(like your username, email and your site address) isn’t deleted.

    First Empty and Delete Your Site.

    And then follow these steps:
    STEP 1: Remove Data
    Go to My Account > Edit Profile at https://wordpress.com/me/account and remove all the data except the username and email address. Now replace only the email address with a throwaway email address. Do not change the username, this will keep the username from being re-used.

    STEP 2: Change Account Password
    Now change your account password to a strong one. You can use this simple password generator tool by LastPass: https://lastpass.com/generatepassword.php
    This is done to ensure that your account is locked up tightly.

    STEP 3: Hide Gravatar Profile
    When you login to Gravatar, you will find a hide button on the bottom right corner of your Gravatar Profile page. Click that.

    STEP 4: Unsubscribe from WordPress Email’s
    To stop receiving emails from WordPress, go here: https://wordpress.com/settings/notifications/ and click on “Block all subscription emails from WordPress.com”.

    Check this out for more information:

    IMPORTANT NOTE:
    Even if you delete/deactivate your account your username is not removed from the database, so that it’s not available to any other users when they are registering for a new account. This is done to keep you from being impersonated by anyone else.

    Hope this helps you. We are sorry to see you go. All the best :)
