  This is done for personal reasons and is of utmost importance to me. I will probably create another account for personal use under a different email address. My account has been dormant for years and I need to have it permanently purged as I’m using the attached email address for personal business.

  WordPress.com doesn’t have the option to delete an account, but you can cancel email notifications and remove your personal information: https://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/

  If you have a blog, you can set it to private so it’s no longer visible to anyone. Go to Settings > General and tick the box next to “I would like my site to be private, visible only to myself and users I choose”. Then click “Save Changes” at the bottom.

  If you’d rather delete your blog, go to Settings > General and click “Delete Site”. Note that this action is permanent. You won’t be able to use the domain again. More info: https://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/
