    I want to delete my account on here since I found a new site. How exactly do I do this or can I even disable this account on here?

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

    Hi. You cannot delete an account (it just goes inactive) but you can delete a blog if you wish. Details here:

    Personally I would suggest to make the WP.com blog in question private.

    I agree with airodyssey and suggest just setting the blog to private and the don’t worry about it. That way just in case you ever decide to resurrect it, it is there waiting. If you delete the blog, you can never get the same URL back again. It does no harm to leave it inactive and private.

    Okay, I already set my account to private so if that’s the best way to just disappear and not come back to the account, sounds good enough for me. :) That and no one’s waiting on any posts from me. Better then nothing.
    Thank you both for the help! I appreciate it!
