    Yes, I need you all to delete my company website from the url attached to wordpress and close or place this blog into inactive. I have searched all over and to be honest I don’t have the time to waist looking for it.

    This email is to wordpress to permanently remove my website name from your site immediately and any and all information regarding me (I the owner) is the only notice I shall provide to you all to remove this from here.

    I decided to go use google blog as it’s a lot better user friendly and it actually works and it sure doesn’t work here at all unless you pay for it which I refuse to waist money here when it’s not working properly.

    So whatever you all need to do to remove this blog from your system I highly suggest that you do so.

    I have also made a copy of this email for my legal records to make sure that you all remove my info., website name in the url and make this page inactive immediately.

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

    Accounts cannot be deleted, but here are the instructions to delete your blog.

    The responsibility for removing your personal information from this site rests with your and no one else. 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”:
    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:
    http://www.thebitmill.com/tools/password.html

    4. 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.

    I am looking to do the same thing with my domain name – but I wish to use the name (thefatgirl.net) for another website I built.

    Will this method still allow me to do that?

    No. That’s completely off-topic in this thread. Please start your own thread by clicking this link https://en.forums.wordpress.com/?new=1

    Thank you for this information timethief.

    I will disable the blog and just let it sit and remove all my information. I just don’t see me spending anymore time trying to get this blog to work or pay my employees to start building it when there’s to many issues with it.

    I tried to remove my business email and place a dummy email up but even though it saved correctly it still kept my company email in the blog. I searched every section of that blog and changed when it was available and still not showing the dummy email. So to be honest not sure what in the world is going on with the program but it’s not really user friendly and I know if I can’t get it to work my employees can’t..lol even my it tech couldn’t get it to work properly. I hope other users have better luck which I am sure there’s plenty, I just do not want to be a part of this problem.

    I started a blog with google and within 15 mins I had my employees building it and I have been here for over a month trying to get it to work.

    Thank you for the links
    Clayton

    You have two separate email address settings at WordPress.com. Have you entered two different email addresses at these locations (see below) or have you entered the same one at both locations?

    Blog notifications for the admin (like comment moderation, Likes, new subscriptions, etc) are sent to the email address at Settings -> General in the Dashboard.

    Personal notifications (like comments on your post, subscription emails, and upgrade renewals) are sent to the email address at Users -> Personal Settings in the Dashboard.
