How to delete admin user?

I created 3 admin accounts while migrating data on my MacBook Air 2020 but I only want to keep one admin account. I have gone through a lot of solutions but all the solutions were for older version of macOS. I am using macOS Ventura & user interfaces & option are completely changed. Could someone please help me to do this?

MacBook Air 13″

Never mind, I got it.


I will just add the solution here.


First login as an admin user which you don't want to delete. Then :


> Go to System Settings


> Open Users & Groups


> Click on edit on Network account server


> Authenticate(if asks) & click on "Open Directory Utility"


> Go to Directory Editor


> There will be a lock icon just below Directory Editor text if you have not authenticated just click on it & write the username & password & authenticate


> Scroll down look for Name of the user(not User Name for me it was Rohit Kumar even though my username was different)


> Click on it & check the record name if it matches with the username you want to delete


> There will one "+" & "-" icon at the bottom. Click on "-" & remove.


This is it. Hopefully this will help you. Thanks.
