    As the title states, I didn’t create this account. Nonetheless, it uses my email address. Is there any way I could have it deleted? I know it’s impossible to delete accounts, but is there any difference if they’re unverified?

    You did not specify a blog address or reason for posting when you created this topic.

    This support forum is for blogs hosted at WordPress.com. If your question is about a self-hosted WordPress blog then you’ll find help at the WordPress.org forums.

    If you don’t understand the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, you may find this information helpful.

    If you forgot to include a link to your blog, you can reply and include it below. It’ll help people to answer your question.

    Which account?
    Which blog?

    I’m sorry but we Volunteers cannot begin to help you until you post an active link starting with http:// to the blog in question.

    When we register a username at WordPress.com we provide a username and an email address. The email address we use becomes our unique identifier.
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/email-address/

    As those with WordPress.org installs require API keys for their plugins they also register a username here as well as at WordPress.org.

    There is an email confirmation step required in order to create an account, so someone would have had to have had access to your email in order to create a WordPress.com account with your email address.

    We have a policy of not re-using the usernames, so that part cannot be deleted. You can edit the profile to remove all info except the username and email if that helps.

    Or, if you would like to setup a WordPress.com site, we can help you with that if you want!
