Hi there!
I don’t see any sites under your account, were you able to delete it already? What’s the address of the site in question?
You mentioned Siteground, so I just wanted to make sure you knew the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org.
We, WordPress.com, are a cloud-based platform where we manage WordPress sites, whereas WordPress.org is stand-alone software that you can download and self-host with any other hosting.
You can find more details about WordPress.com and WordPress.org on this support page:
https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/.
So, when you delete a site on WordPress.com, all subscriptions for that site are canceled as well. However, if your site was hosted elsewhere, you’d want to make sure you cancel all the subscriptions separately.

Hi,
The site is (familyearthtrek.com).
I managed to cancel the futher subscription for siteground, I think that’s the hosting site?
I had a guy helping me set up the site but unfortunately we are not in contact anymore hence why I am so lost.
Thank you with all the help.

Thanks for the address!
Yes, it looks like the site is hosted with Siteground; your domain is also registered with them, so canceling your subscriptions with them was the way to go.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I can see the site used to be connected to a different WordPress.com account of yours, but there are also no active subscriptions there.
