    I didn’t remember I had a word press account/profile from some years ago when I created my Bluehost acct and associated with Word Press. I am hoping to delete my profile associated with: (email visible only to moderators and staff) (a personal email) and create a new profile using my business email. I have no blog content I want to save. New venture is a business blog and I want to associate it with my business email.

    WP.com: Yes
    Correct account: Yes

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