I mistakenly added a name that was already in the family tree with a lot of attached information. How do I delete the second one?

You DO NOT need to "Delete" the individual/person that your "Created" (ie. Added) in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch".

.

Just "Merge"/"Combine" the two individuals/persons; so that, the individual/person that was ALREADY in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch" is the "Surviving" individual/person - so that, the individual/person you "Created" is "Archived" (for want of a better word).

.

Here are some "Knowledge Articles" in "FamilySearch" on the matter of "Merging"/"Combining":
