  Hi, I have several WP accounts and I’d like to permanently delete them. I saw the help article about Deleting Accounts (https://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/) however it doesn’t actually describe how to delete an account, just make it inactive by removing all personal information. I would like to completely delete an account. Can you tell me how I can do this?

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

  Hi,

  You can’t really delete an account, but you can delete all of your personal information from your Account Settings, then change your password to a random string. This will leave your account inactive while preventing you to gain access to it in the future. Here are some more details:

  Good luck!
