Hi Max, Brandon is correct; you should have administrator privileges. However, even with admin privileges, you'll need to VO-space on "Click the lock to make changes" and supply your password in order to delete accounts. This is under System Preferences > Users & Groups on the password tab. Use item chooser menu (VO-I) and type in "lock", then arrow down to the "click the lock to make changes unchecked", and press return or VO-space to go there. Then VO-space again to unlock the control, and type your password into the authorizing dialog window. Once you done this you can select the account you created and delete it.
However, I usually keep at least one other guest or test account on my system in order to check whether problem behaviors are system-wide or specific to my account set-up. Once you've made changes to the user account settings, you might want to VO-space on the lock again, to prevent further changes to these settings. HTH.
