Please delete my account – amateurs

Seriously, WHO THE <> STORES PASSWORDS LIKE THAT you complete amateurs.
I don’t care that my wordpress account ‘can’t’ be deleted. DELETE IT. I don’t want you holding ANY of my data. You have breached the trust that I had when sharing the data, now I don’t want you to store ANYTHING about me.

Are you referring to this: http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2014/09/12/gmail-password-leak-update/ ?
You should read more carefully. Gmail was hacked, not WordPress. WordPress reset the passwords of some users in case those users had the same passwords for WordPress as they have for Gmail. As a precaution.
You can’t delete your account and no amount of ranting in the forums is going to change that. This is for security reasons so others cannot claim your username and impersonate you. http://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/
But you can remove all personal information you added and effectively deactivate your account so no one will be able to access it. See timethief’s instructions in this thread on how to do that: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/delete-account-276?replies=2 If you follow those steps then WordPress won’t be storing anything about you.

Hello!
Unfortunately, WordPress accounts cannot be deleted.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/I recommend deleting your blogs.
Changing your email address to a throw-away/disposable one.
Using a password generator to lock-up the account. -
