What is WordPress?
WordPress is an open-source and free-to-use content management system primarily used for blogging. It is one of the most popular content management systems in use.
A WordPress account cannot be deleted, but the blogs associated with it can.
How To Delete A WordPress Account Blog
- Log in to your account.
- You can see the dashboard on the left side of the screen. Select the ‘tools’ option.
- A dropdown menu will appear when you select ‘delete site’
- In the dropdown menu, select ‘permanently delete my site’s address and all content.’
- Click on the checkbox and select the delete option associated with your blog’s name. (Example: Delete samplesite.wordpress.com permanently)
- To ensure that no one else can delete the account, a confirmation email will be sent to the email account associated with the blog.
- Confirm your choice by clicking on the link in the email.
Things to note
- You can leave WordPress by leaving the account inactive for a specific time period. This period is set to 30 days by default.
