  Hi –

  You can also enable 2 factor authentication on your WordPress.com account. I suggest using that feature on all online accounts that offer it. Especially your email account.

  Update the password on your email account too.

  Enable Two-Step Authentication

  The posts can be deleted and then trashed permanently. Write back if more help is needed.
