Hi ellen1111,
You can't delete the user account that you're currently using.
To delete the highlighted account, log out of your Mac (Apple menu in the top left -> Log out), then sign in to a different user account. From there, you can delete this account.

This for instructions:
Change Users & Groups settings on Mac – Apple Support (UK)
You have 2 admin accounts in the Users & Groups panel. Best to make a record of your new admin password etc. You may also want to populate the new account with your preferred software + documents + whatever. Once happy and only then delete the old admin account.
If Ellen Scott is your new admin account then login to that account. It should be possible to delete the Ellen admin account at that point. See Encryptor5000 'You can't delete the user account that you're currently using.'
