    Well, a bit of important info seems to have been cut off. What about your blog posts and images? :)

    If you want to export your content, you can follow the instructions here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/export/ which also explains what is included in the export file.

    Your Media files however, will not be included in your export file, so you should copy them directly from the Media Library. There is no utility to download those files (unfortunately).

    Also, although you can delete your site, you can’t delete your account. This is to ensure that no one can impersonate your username in the future.

    You can read this Support doc about locking down your account in order to walk away from it: https://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/
