@esmi: I have a self-hosted site which I accidentally linked to a WP.com account because I wanted to use WP Stats. Once it’s linked, you can not remove the linked blog. I want my clients to sign up for their own WP.com account and link to the blog.
Unfortunately, this is now impossible. Entering their API key for WP Stats in the private hosted blog gives an error that the blog is associated with my account (“marketacumen”).
The link above from randinicole:
https://dashboard.wordpress.com/wp-admin/users.php?page=grofiles-editor
does not allow me to remove the non-WP.com linked blog.
Likewise, this advice:

https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/remove-a-linked-blog-2?replies=14
Says to contact wp.com support. Unfortunately, contacting them through this page:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/
Gives me an error that they only support WP.com blogs.
Repeat until sufficiently infuriated. (I’m there, baby.)
Please let me know how I can remove a linked blog without having to sign up for a premium account so I can ask WP.com support a question.
My wp.com username is “marketacumen”
