  the site associated with my account is not mine. I seem to have no option to unsubscribe and delete my account. I am not the ‘author’ of the site and hence have no option to delete my association with said account

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi vonsavan,

  the site associated with my account is not mine.

  Do you mean guerrillanews.wordpress.com? If not, please send me a link to the site you are referring to.

  Thanks!

  Hi. Yes. I am not the author of guerrillanews, yet it appears I have been associated with it since 2010. Since I am not the creator of guerrillanews I have no option to select settings under My Site and thus have no way to delete my account.

  Hi vonsavan,

  I have no option to select settings under My Site and thus have no way to delete my account.

  I can see you are a Contributor on guerrillanews.wordpress.com, not the owner. Do you want to deactivate your vonsavan account? Or do you want to keep your vonsavan account but not longer be a Contributor on guerrillanews.wordpress.com?

  I would like to keep my account if I can be removed as a contributor to guerrillanews “IF” i can also unsubscribe to some of the other sites that I am following. I have not found a way to “Unfollow” the other sites on my account. It may just be easier to deactivate my vonsavan account. Can you please tell how I would do both options. Thank You

  In fact I would just like to deactivate my vonsavan account. How do I go about doing that?

  Hi vonsavan,

  I would like to keep my account if I can be removed as a contributor to guerrillanews

  You can leave guerrillanews.wordpress.com by following these steps:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/#leave-a-blog

  This link will take you through to the right place in order to make that change:

  https://guerrillanews.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=my-blogs

  “IF” i can also unsubscribe to some of the other sites that I am following.

  We have some information about unfollowing sites here:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/following/#how-to-unfollow-a-blog-if-youre-a-wordpress-com-user

  It may just be easier to deactivate my vonsavan account.

  Once your vonsavan account has been deactivated, it won’t be possible to recover the username:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/account-deactivation/

  If you wish to continue using that username, the options I mentioned at the top of this reply might be a better option.

  Please let me know if you have questions about anything I’ve mentioned above.
