I want to delete my account

    THe article about what to do when you want to delete an account does not actually indicate that it will be deleted. As I understand it, if I empty the settings/bars, it will still be there and so can be hacked into by someone and used by them, without my then being able to do anything about it. I feel this leaves me vulnerable and had I known this was going to be the case, I would never have opened this account. Why isn’t a user allowed to delete their account properly so there is no trace of it? I am pretty angry.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hello @iqbuilders,

    WordPress.com accounts cannot be deleted. However, you can easily delete your blog.

    If you wish to leave WordPress.com, you can just leave your account inactive.

    To unsubscribe from any email notifications from WordPress.com, go to your subscription settings and check the box that says Block all subscription emails from WordPress.com.

    Also: change/rename your username, and reuse email addresses.

    See this support doc for more information.

    Regards,
    Rose
