System Preferences > Users & Groups. Unlock the padlock, select the temp admin account and click the minus button.

Are you sure it was Apple support? I've never known them to create an account on someone's computer.

The minus button was grayed out (+ was not), so I cannot delete the account. Yes, it was Apple support that set up the temp admin account. I no longer need that extra admin account, but I was able to at least get my own admin account reselected as the admin for my Mac...for now.

If you are admin on the computer you should be able to delete the temp account.
