  You cannot delete your wordpress.com username account. This is for security reasons so others cannot claim your username and impersonate you. http://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/

  The only details you were required to provide when signing up for your account was an email address. WordPress.com will never send you spam to that email address and also won’t sell it to third parties, as clearly stated in their privacy policy. You can disable all email notifications from your account settings:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/email-notifications/

  If you change that email to a throwaway address there will be no way your account could ever be linked to you. Any other details that you added yourself, you also have the power to delete yourself. See timethief’s instructions in this post on how to do that: http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/06/02/deleting-accounts-blogs-and-content/

  If you used your real name as your username you can change that to a random username that cannot be connected to you. The existing username will then cease to exist and won’t be available for anyone, including you, to ever use again: http://en.support.wordpress.com/change-your-username/

  @plaintom
  You can delete a blog with a custom domain, you just need to cancel the custom domain first. If you want to do that, let us know the URL of the blog you want to delete and we’ll tag this for staff to help you with cancelling the custom domain.

  See here for more information on cancelling a custom domain: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/cancel-domain/

  You also have the option of transferring your domain to another registrar if you want to use it with a site hosted somewhere else. https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/transfer-domain-registration/

  Well, my blogs are old so I can’t “Cancel” them (all I get from that “help” information page you link is to get annoyed because it doesn’t say anything helpful) … but sure
  If you can please remove them from existance I’d be very pleased.
  My two domains are
  nattehauk.com and
  mydefianceblog.com
  i’ve deleted everything on both sites. only domain names left and they keep asking me for money.

  I’ve tagged this thread for staff assistance. Keep in mind there’s usually a bit of a backlog after the weekend, so please be patient while waiting for their reply.

  I’m happy to cancel the domains nattehauk.com and
  mydefianceblog.com for you. I just need you to confirm you understand that if you cancel them here you may not be able to get them back–even at another registrar. So if you want to use one or both of them somewhere you’ll want to transfer them instead.

  If you don’t intend to use them at all, let me know and I’ll cancel them for you right away.
