I am trying to delete all extra accounts off my computer, but I can't delete
the last extra Administrator account from the default Administrator. Can you
help me fix this? Please and Thank You in advance.

There is nothing to fix. The "Administrator" account can not be
deleted, and that's good, not bad. It's an account that you should
never routinely use, but keep only as a fallback account in case you
ever have trouble with your other administrator account(s).
 
No, I'm talking about deleting the one I made. I want to keep the default
Administrator Account. I made an extra one, but it's taking up too much space.

If it's taking too much space, take ownership of the files from the built-in
Admin account and then delete them.

You aren't by chance still logged into that account while trying to delete
it, are you? What error messages do you see?

I am not in that account. I made one for my mom, but it is taking up too much
space and I need it gone. I use the default Administrator account only, so I
don't need it. It doesn't come up with an option to delete it and I can't
change the account type either.

Is anyone? Accounts that are logged into can't be deleted.

And try doing this from Safe Mode.

Then take ownership of its files and delete them. An empty account doesn't
take up much space.
