What do I do if I do not remember my account name or password, but only my email?

Check your WTF folder. It has folders with the names of every account you had

I do not have them left. I've deleted them when I wanted a fresh folder.

I do remember several of my character names, and as I said earlier, my email.

There is data recovery software you can use.

If you still own the hard drive that you had installed the WoW client on, you can run the data recovery software on it, and it will retrieve your client as well as the WTF folder containing your account name.

This process can take a long time and depending on software used, might be annoying to shift through all deleted files to find the one you need.
