I can't find anywhere how I can delete my WordPress account.

    Dear sir/ madam,

    How can I delete my account? It feels kind of ridiculous to me that I have to send you an email to find this out. In my opinion and in the opinion of an ICT-student who helps me; WordPress is far from user-friendly.

    I am looking forward to your reply,

    kind regards,

    Lotte Leblanc

    Lotte,

    This support document will help explain how to delete your site, if you choose. There are other options as well.
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/

    Please know that once you choose to delete your site, the address/url will become unavailable for you or anyone else to use in the near future, if at all.

    The user account itself cannot be deleted. It is set up that way to help prevent someone else from gaining access to your site and pretending to be you.

    If you want to get rid of your account details, follow this link and remove all personal information from your account.

    https://wordpress.com/me/account

    Change your email address to a throwaway address and change the password to something random that you won’t remember to prevent you from gaining access to it in the future. Or, you can just block all emails and keep the account dormant in case you may want to use it again in the future.

    Hope that helps.
