  Hi, thanks for your response. Is there any reason why I would want to keep this account open if I’m not doing that blog?

  Closing your account deletes all sites you own and all their contents. After a few weeks, the data will be entirely purged from our system, and at this point, the process cannot be reversed.

  So I guess it depends on whether or not you would want to make a new site in the future under lidarose99 – if you delete your account you would not be able to reuse that name in the future.

  Since you don’t have any paid upgrades now, keeping your user account open won’t cost you anything so there’s no harm in keeping it. Other alternatives to closing your account can be found here:

  But, ultimately the choice is yours.

  I hope that clarifies things!
