  Here’s how to deactivate your account:
  All you were required to provide to register an account here was an email address that can be replaced at any time.

  Any personal information that you voluntarily posted can also be removed at any time.

  Although username accounts are not deleted, so you cannot be impersonated and have your reputation affected by anyone registering the same username in the future, there are steps you can take that amount to removing all personal information and result in leaving only a throwaway email address behind. http://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/

  1. You can go to My Account->Edit Profile 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.

  2. To unsubscribe from email sent to you from WordPress.com, go here and click on “Block all subscription emails from WordPress.com”:
  https://wordpress.com/settings/notifications/

  3. To ensure the account is locked up tightly, visit this site, generate a password of 15-20 characters, and change the account password to it:

  4. To hide your Gravatar profile, login and on the bottom right hand corner of your Gravatar profile page you will find a “hide” button visible only to you that you can click.

  the problem is…i regularly receive “Someone recently requested that the password be reset for…” mail on my inbox…i don’t have any junk mail address to use…i’ve select all the options that block emails from wordpress…but i receive that one and i didn’t request any reset…sorry but, as a developer myself, i don’t undestand the problem with disabling the user.
  i feel very bad because i like working with wordpress a lot but i don’t feel free…i am connected to something i don’t want, i don’t need, i don’t recognise, it was a simple test…this is very very very very bad situation…”sorry but we can’t disable your account, and you have to receive mails from us everything someone or something requests a password reset randomly…”

  this is very stupid.

  Hi there,

  As timethief mentioned, user accounts aren’t deleted but you’re welcome to change your account’s email address to a throwaway address if you don’t want to use it anymore. That will stop you from continuing to receive those password reset notifications.

  If you don’t have a throwaway email address, you can create one with a free email service and use that for this purpose. Please let me know if I can do anything more to help with that.
