How to delete my account

    hi

    I made a new gmail for my old wordpress account. So when I changed the email in the account settings, a confirmation was sent. But when I opened that confirmation link, it made a new account. So I need to delete this account to use that email for the other one. Please help.

    Hi there!

    You can’t delete accounts on WordPress.com. You can Deactivate accounts, by following these steps.

    I hope I understand your question. If I didn’t, or need more help — please reply and I’ll be more than happy to help!


    Thanks!
    Alisson

    Hi there,

    To disconnect your email address from that account create a throwaway email address from an online email service provider and then change the account email to that throwaway address. Finally, use your proper email address with your normal account.

    If you have any other questions, just let me know and I’ll be happy to help.
