You can’t. Some explanation: Deleting Accounts
Hi, could someone tell me how to delete my account on wordpress.org ? thanks
Like @claytonjames said, this is not possible. If you read the link he provided, it clearly states that:
Accounts are not deleted, not even for obvious spammers, due to technical limitations of the system. If you don’t want to use the forums anymore, log off and don’t return. We’ll miss you!
Changing your username to “iwanttodeletemywordpressaccount…” is not going to help and is just childish. If you don’t want to use your account anymore, then just logout and don’t use it.
The most used blogging platform coders in the planet somehow can’t handle something as basic as deleting an account.
More than a technical limitation excuse this is a corporate decision that only people high up the WordPress hierarchy knows the purpose (if they even know it).
Dear ladys and gentlemen,
Please delete my account.
Thanks in advance.
I get 500 emails from WordPress every day it is horrible.
Thanks in advance for your appreciated help.

If you read this forum thread you would realize that we don’t delete WordPress.org accounts. Just in case you missed it though, here it is again.

@brimbelle: If you are receiving 500 emails a day then I would assume that is from your WordPress website and not WordPress.org. Either way, you shouldn’t hijack another persons thread.

@ctrlaltdelete: What “WordPress hierarchy”? WordPress is 100% volunteer run. I am a volunteer along with everyone else.
We don’t delete accounts because there is not reason to. There isn’t some secret to why we don’t. If you don’t want your account then just log out of it and forget it. Plain and simple as that.
I am closing this thread now before it becomes more off topic.
