Delete a system keychain in Keychain Access App

I accidentally deleted some passwords in my keychain and was able to recover them from a time machine backup. But in doing so I created another system keychain in the Keychain Access App that is locked. I tried to delete it but the options are greyed out.

iMac 24″, macOS 11.6
