    While accounts themselves cannot be deleted, you can follow this guide in order to lock up all your personal information and then walk away from the account https://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/ and this extended Staff reply here: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/delete-account-forever-1?replies=3#post-2714085

    Did you purchase any custom domains through WordPress.com? Or did you just use free ones like this: yourwebsite.wordpress.com?

    Hi there,

    @jjberg83 is right. You cannot be completely deleted, you can follow the instructions provided in the link to scrape all of your personal information from your account.

    Please take a look at our support pages and let me know if you have any questions.

    Thanks!
