  Hello,

  I would like to request that my account be deleted entirely from wordpress.com. I have deleted my site but I would also like to have the associated account removed. Do so immediately.

  Thank you,

  Hi @closedaccount12365881,
  That is something that you have to do it yourself, because WordPress staff do not delete accounts.

  However, i must inform you that WordPress.COM accounts cannot be deleted permanently once created.

  But if you still wish to deactivate your account and leave WordPress, you can follow the instructions given here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/

  IMPORTANT NOTE:
  Even if you deactivate your account your username is not removed from the database, so that it’s not available to any other users when they are registering for a new account. This is done to keep you from being impersonated by anyone else.

  Hope this helps. We are sorry to see you go. All the best. 🙂
