  The link to d’elete my account’ doesn’t really answer my question. I want my entire account deleted but I cant find an answer. Thank you.

  Do you need to unsubscribe from emails you’re receiving, or do you want to remove your account?

  You can block all WordPress.com email by checking the box next to “Block Emails” in your email delivery settings. There’s a link at the bottom of each subscription email, or you can log in and update your settings here:
  http://wordpress.com/#!/read/subsettings/

  If you want to get rid of the account, please understand the username will be deactivated, and will never be available again. You can remove all sites and profile information, then change your email address to a throwaway and the password to a random string. Or, you can simply leave the account inactive until you’d like to use it again for any of our services.
