Delete junk author

I removed this accidentally created author from a book, but is there any way to remove that author altogether?

Merged into Jón Kalman Stefánsson.

Easiest way is to change the author name to the correct name and GR will merge them. That way any quotes and reviews left in the profile will go to the correct author.

Thanks, merging it away is neat. The name was entered as secondary author after the author's correct name, so I just deleted it.

The other option is just to leave it. There is a script that runs periodically that deletes blank (no books, no fans, no quotes, no bio) authors.
