If you’re looking to delete personal data from a WordPress site, here are the steps you can follow:

1. Data Erasure Request: If you want to delete your personal data from WordPress.org, you can fill out the Data Erasure Request form on their website. This will permanently delete your WordPress.org account and associated personal data¹.
2. Using WordPress Tools: WordPress includes a feature to delete a user’s personal data upon verified request. Here’s a basic guide:
   1. Go to Tools -> Erase Personal Data in the WordPress Administration Screens.
   1. Enter the Username or email address of the user whose data needs to be erased and click Send Request.
   1. The user will receive an email to confirm the action. Once confirmed, you can click Erase Personal Data to permanently remove the data from the database².

Please note that these actions cannot be reversed once confirmed, and it’s important to ensure that backups or archives also respect these erasure requests. Additionally, this process does not remove data from third-party hosted WordPress sites¹.

For a complete deletion of a WordPress site, including all files and databases, you would need to access your hosting account’s control panel and manually delete the WordPress directory and its contents³. Always remember to back up any data you may need before proceeding with deletion.
