Alert exists in savedsearches.conf file. You can remove the alert stanza from conf file. Below is the sample path.
1. If the search head is not in cluster then remove stanza from below path and restart splunk.
$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/<app_directory>/default/savedsearches.conf
2. If the search head is in cluster then remove stanza from below path on deployer server then apply the bundle.
$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/shcluster/apps/<app_directory>/default/savedsearches.conf

Is this alert created by you or it is part of an app?
If this alert exists in the app's default folder you need to remove it from the app and then deploy the app again. If you don't have access to do that then you can always disable the alert.

Alert is part of an application. And it is owned by Admin.
I am logged as Admin - and cannot delete it

If it is part of the application's default directory then even admin can't delete it. You need to delete it from app and deploy the application again.

Do you mean I need to delete the Alert in the config file, in the OS?
And then restart Splunk?
