  Be aware that canceling a domain means you give up ownership of that domain name. The domain name may not be released immediately, and there’s no guarantee that you’ll be able to register it again in the future.

  If you’d like to keep the domain and use it somewhere else, you can transfer it instead: Transfer a Domain to Another Registrar http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/transfer-domain-registration/

  If you’re sure you no longer want the domain at all, then type modlook into the sidebar tags on this thread for Staff help. How do I get a Moderator/Staff reply for my question? https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-help-in-the-forums/#how-do-i-get-a-moderatorstaff-reply-for-my-question Then please subscribe to it so you are notified when they respond.

  If I transfer the domain, will I still have to pay $18/ year?

  Okay……..

  Now that you have responded, can I get an answer?
  I would like to completely delete my domain and website and from the WordPress. How would I do this?

  Hi there,

  Would you like to keep using the domain naturalfromtheroots.com with a different website or web host? Or do you want to stop using it completely?

  If we cancel the domain for you, you won’t own it anymore and can’t use it anywhere else. There’s a good chance you won’t be able to get it back (either here or with another host or domain registrar). If you’re ok with that, please let me know and I can cancel it for you.

  If you want to keep using it, just not at WordPress.com, you can Transfer the Domain to Another Registrar. In that case, the only cost will be to your new registrar, to keep the domain registered with them.

  Please let me know if you have any other questions!
