Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

I have two Apple ID's, how do I delete one?

This exact question has been asked before. However, the link I went to seemed to mention deleting your account completely. I dare not try to do that, as I don't want to lose my primary account. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

MacBook Air, macOS 13.0

I am not clear what it is you wish to do then. You ask about deleting an Apple ID but then say you don't want to do it. Please give a more detailed description of your dilemma and what you wish to achieve.

Sorry but where exactly are you seeing each of those? Is one a web page and the other a computer preferences pane? You can sign in on the web independently from signing in on a particular device. I can, for example, be signed out on my computer but I can go to my web browser and sign in on the web browser. I had two IDs I could even sign in on my computer with one ID and into iCloud with a browser with another.
