"Admin" refers to users who can do things on the computer that non-admin users can't do. To delete a user, create an admin user. After you have created an admin user, open the System Preferences window. In "Users and Groups" select the user you want to delete and click the minus sign at the bottom of the "Users and Groups" pane. You may need that user's password.

Can you play an 80mm DVD in an iMac?

No. The slot-loading drives on all current iMac models (and most previous iMac models) will only accept standard 12cm (120mm) diameter discs. Smaller discs may (and usually do) cause problems with the drive, up to and including complete drive failure. Smaller discs require tray-loading optical drives; the only iMac models that included tray-loading optical drives were the early iMac G3 (CRT) models, and the iMac G4 ("Sunflower," or "Desk Lamp" style) models.
