Solution

The system user roles: ‘System', ‘Super Admin’, and 'Team Member’ cannot be deleted.
As a result, the 'Delete' button is not available for these roles.

All other roles can be deleted as outlined in the following help page Manage system roles

The permission toggle: Administration> Roles and Additional Options > Manage Roles is needed in order to be able to delete roles.
if there are users still assigned to a given role when it is deleted, then they will be assigned to the default role automatically.
