You don’t, you propose a merge. Scroll down to the bottom of one profile, click propose merge and follow the prompts.

You don't delete them (we don't delete on WikiTree). If you do not want to keep them in your ancestry, then unlink them.

See this link regarding one tree and a single profile for each person. If reading this link doesn't answer your question, please be a little more specific why you want this relative deleted.

Thank you. I was going to delete him because I thought it would cause a duplicate in Wikitree. Now I see that I can merge him into the existing tree.
