I need to create a separate user account on my wife's MacBook Pro, and i did so as an admin. That user account is no longer needed, and I want to delete it from her computer. Unfortunately, when i go to users and groups, whether with her admin account or mine, I cannot delete after clicking the lock to make changes. What am i missing?

Turns out further research yielded the fact that you can't delete a user who's logged in. So I logged out and completed the delete process. Thanks for your help.

You can boot in safe mode (How to use safe mode on your Mac), then delete user account (Delete a user or group on Mac).
Of course! I guess I thought that went without saying, sort of like you can't reboot unless an app can be quit.
