How do I delete one profile if they are both admins?

I accidentally created two profiles on my MacBook, both in the administrator status. How do I delete one profile if they are both admins?

Thanks!

As mentioned it's not a problem having more than one Admin account. However, it's easy enough to remove a second Admin account. Go to System Preferences > Users & Groups. click on the padlock on the bottom left to unlock it after entering your password. Then select the user account and click on the "minus" sign. Don't save the users home folder.
