  I am interested in deleting my one and only admin account and would like to create a new username and account under my current email address which is linked to this account. What is the process of deleting admin users?

  instead of deleting an admin account, you can change your username for that account, look at this link for more information: https://wordpress.com/support/change-your-username/
