  I created a test account and tried out WP for a bit, but it wasn’t what I’m looking for. I have successfully deleted the site, but I can’t delete my account? Why is that so? I won’t be using WP and don’t want my info out there in the ether hanging lose. What possible reason could there be for not letting me delete my account? Even Facebook lets you do it.
