    Hi there
    I haven’t logged in to my blog for 10 years. Want to close it but can’t remember email, phone has changed etc. What can I do? I didn’t have the details asked for on account recovery form.

    Hi @ericweinman,

    I haven’t logged in to my blog for 10 years. Want to close it but can’t remember email, phone has changed etc. What can I do? I didn’t have the details asked for on account recovery form.

    I am adding modlook tag to this thread for staff’s attention as they are the ones who can help you with closing/deleting your account.

    Meanwhile, can you please provide a bit more details for them to help you out.
    Kindly share your blog/site URL that you want to delete.

    Best Regards
    Sunil Chauhan

    @ericweinman I’m sure you can understand we need to have some proof of ownership before closing somebody’s website. Please send a link to the site. Please also try to figure out what email addresses you were using around that time, so you can check those with our password reset form.

    Got it. Can you please email passwordhelp@wordpress.com and explain you would like to close the site? Please let them know what email address may be attached to it, even if that address no longer exists.
