    Hi @jordan040118,

    @Timethief has made an great suggestion via thread:
    https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/accident-account-creation?replies=4

    to remove the email address connected to your new account.

    1. You can go to My Account->Edit Profile at https://wordpress.com/me/account 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.

    Free disposable email address https://www.google.ca/search?q=free+disposable+email+address&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&gws_rd=cr&ei=Jf0mWaWKPMOD0wLgg6bYBQ

    You may not be able to delete your username but you can change it, you can follow the link below for further instructions:

    https://en.support.wordpress.com/change-your-username/

    But please know that if you change your username, it will no longer be available to you and no one else will be able to use it also.

    Hope this helps!

    Okay, I am going to tag this thread with “modlook”. The “modlook” tag will notify WordPress Staff that you need further assistance regarding your account.

    Thank you for your patience as they look into your account :)

    As another suggestion, you can create a temporary email address – assign it to your account, have it confirmed and then delete the email address.

    Try this suggestion first and if your still having complications, you can re-add the “modlook” tag :)

    Cheers!

    Hi there,

    Can you please confirm the email address you’re trying to use for a different account? Type the email on its own line and our forum software will automatically redact it so only staff can see it.
