Permanently Delete My WordPress.com Account
-
Can someone please permanently delete my WordPress.com account for me please? And also if someone can actually delete it. How long exactly will it take before it is permanently deleted forever? PLEASE HELP. Thank you so much

Hi there,
The account itself cannot be deleted. It is set up that way to prevent someone else from gaining access to your site and pretending to be you.
If you want to get rid of your account details, follow this link and remove all personal information from your account.
https://wordpress.com/me/account
Change your email address to a throwaway address and change the password to something random that you won’t remember to prevent you from gaining access to it in the future. Or, you can just block all emails and keep the account dormant in case you may want to use it again in the future.

Hope that helps.

Hello. I searched online before I did this and it said that my account can be deleted. So can someone please delete this account? I will no longer use it what so ever at all. I haven’t post anything what so ever and I don’t have any sites set up. So please can someone delete this please?

You are not able to delete the user account entirely, as I stated above. You are able to remove all of your personal information and lock yourself out of the account so that you cannot access it in the future. By doing so, the account won’t be linked to you.
I’m not sure where you would have read that you can delete your user account, as that is not correct.
You ARE able to delete your site.

Okay, so if I were to remove all of my personal information and lock myself out of the account so that I cannot access it in the future and as you said, by doing so, the account won’t be linked to me anymore. Would I be able to create a brand new account if I wanted to do so by any chance (IF any)? Can I remove my email address too along with my other personal information? How do I remove all of my personal information and lock myself out of my account? Where do I start?

If you remove all of your information, it has no way of showing you connected to that user account.
The information I provided to you in my first response answers all of the questions you have. Please click on the links provided and read through the information. In doing that, you will fully understand the process and make sure everything is taken care of properly.
“Every WordPress.com user account has a unique email address, so you can’t create two accounts with the same email address.”
You would need to free up your email address if you intend to use the same email to open a new user account. This is where removing information comes in to play also.
Please open the links provided above for further explanation.
