  I created a profile with my enterprise e-mail, after that I installed WordPress into Dreamhost and imported all the information, now I want to close my old account, with the email (email redacted) registered to the blog direktio.wordpress.com
  Blog url: http://direktio.wordpress.com/

  The blog I need help with is direktio.wordpress.com.

  You can delete a blog but do be mindful that there is no recycling of deleted blog URLS here at wordpress.com.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/delete-blog/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  Username accounts are not deleted. For more information, please see http://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/

  1. You can go to My Account->Edit Profile and remove all data except the account name and an email address. Create a throwaway email address and change the account email to that throwaway address. This only leaves the username behind.

  2. To unsubscribe from email sent to you from WordPress.com, go here and click on “Block all subscription emails from WordPress.com”:

  3.. To ensure the account is locked up tightly, visit this site, generate a password of 15-20 characters, and change the account password to it:

  4. To hide your Gravatar profile, please read “How do I hide my profile?” section of the help page: http://en.gravatar.com/site/faq/#answer-1-8
