  Hi there,

  Can you please tell me what is the URL of the site in question, and what is the username you are trying to remove?

  Thanks.

  cambridgecameraclub is the owner of that site, and it’s not possible to remove the username that owns/created a site on WordPress.com.

  However, that user can transfer ownership to another account, which will automatically remove them as the user. So, you’ll need to log in as cambridgecameraclub, or otherwise contact that user, and ask them to transfer ownership of the site to your account.
