Urgent!
-
Few years ago, I had created an account here (no domain bought). I completely forgot what email I had used long back then, forget about the password. However, I see myself and the stuffs that I wrote on that blog while I search myself in google. I want that site to be removed. I was thinking if I could contact WordPress directly, I could show a proof of my identity and have that site removed (I have a new site here under my name with a domain bought) but looks like I can’t…so I am here, wishing somebody help me. Any solution, guys? Please help!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
If you know either the email address or username that you used to create the account, you can follow the password reset process.
If you’ve misplaced your username, email address and password you can use the Account Recovery Form. You can provide any details that may help in the recovery of your account. Here is a direct link to the form.
Once you’ve regained access to your site, it is then possible to deactivate your account and remove all the site content. These are the steps you would need to follow:
To empty the contents of any of your sites, follow the steps outlined here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/
You can then delete any sites by following the information in this guide: https://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/. Make sure to cancel any paid upgrades first.
You can then remove all your personal information from within your Account Settings, except your username and email address. You can access your account settings by clicking on the Gravatar in the upper right hand corner of your WordPress admin bar. The two main pages where you would find personal information are at https://wordpress.com/me/account and https://wordpress.com/me/profile. You can also change the email address by creating a throw-away email address from online email provider and using that in place of your current email address.
If necessary there are various other steps you can take such as disabling your Gravatar, unsubscribing from email notifications, changing your username and changing your password. You can get more detailed information on all the steps involved in account deactivation at this page.
I hope this helps?

Karen,
I tried to fill out the account recovery form but it asked me for the proof of ownership and I do not have any of that (I have changed my phone number and my email since the account was made years ago) so I could not fully fill the form and send. What do I do?

Hi msdristigurung,
I see myself and the stuffs that I wrote on that blog while I search myself in google.
Can you confirm which site you would like to recover?
Just let me know and we can go from there.
