  Hey bperezrego,

  To delete your website, just go to Account Settings. Please refer to this support document.

  Delete a Website

  Please keep that in your mind that deleting a website is a permanent action, you will never be able to use the same URL again.

  Hello there @bperezrego Another way you can control who sees your site, without deleting it, is to change your site’s privacy settings to Private and only invite the people you want to view your site.

  @ravichahar although this option is mentioned in the Delete Site support guide, it is worth mentioning it to the user directly exactly because site deletion is irreversible. Thanks.

  On the matter of having received a threatening email from WordPress site, it’s difficult to know by what you’ve written whether this was received via a contact form on your WordPress.com site or to you directly if you published your email address on your site. Regardless, please contact your local law enforcement if you feel at all threatened to ensure that you get the appropriate assistance. WordPress.com is happy to comply with any investigation by law enforcement.

  @justjennifer

  I will always mention it to the people who want to delete their website. Changing the privacy settings to private is also a better option.

  Thanks.
