  Apparently someone opened up this account with my e-mail address 2 years ago for some reason. I wouldn’t mind using WordPress again, but I do not want @zeldakiehn as my account name. Is there any way to change this or delete this and allow me to set up a new account with the same e-mail. Thanks.

  I don’t have a site with WordPress.com yet

  Hi there,

  If you would like to change your actual username, please follow these steps:

  Change Your Username

  If you want to create a new account with the email connected to this account, you will want to change the email to this account to a different email which frees up the email you want to use for the new account.

  You can change your account email address from here:

  https://wordpress.com/settings/account/

  Please note that the change will not immediately take effect, as you will receive a validation email at the new email address. Make sure to click the link in the validation email to confirm the email address change.

  If you run into any issues, you can check out this guide below:

  Change Your Email Address

  Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
