The name I supplied is the name (and the only name) I am already using and have used for many years. Every time I try and update my profile I get this. Can someone explain what I am doing wrong ... or fix the bug, please?

I have no idea where that came from... except Chris merged two profiles for me many years ago when another one appeared for no apparent reason.
How can I get rid of the "Member 10654250" one?

It allowed me to close the account but it hasn't released my username.

Yes, I logged back into it and changed the email and display name and id. This allowed me at least to get my name back to my preferred one. I don't know why it hadn't gone away but it turned out to be convenient for this purpose anyway.

I shall wait a day before checking it has really gone and/or trying to close it again. In the meantime I have my name back on the proper account.

Glad to "help" (you did all yourself)...
About the delete...
OG's answer I copied and use from time to time:
Quote: You can close it yourself:
•Look in the top right of this page, and hover the mouse over your username.
•From the menu that appears, select "My Settings".
•The settings page is organised into tabs: pick the "Account" tab.
•On the right side of the page, under your avatar picture (if any) there is a checkbox "Close my account"
•Check this, and a dialog will appear: "Are you sure? Once you deactivate your account you will lose access to your posts, articles and data." Select "OK".
•Make sure "I have read and agree to the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service for this site" is also checked, and press the "Save my Settings" button.
•Your account is gone.

No. This is not a feature that has ever been added, nor that will likely ever be added.
The problem is that it would be abused, and quickly. This site has a reputation as a quality site for developers, but we also get a lot of spammers and trolls from time to time. And images? You can just imagine what kind of images some w=people would like to post!
And it doesn't take many of those to get a blacklist marker on net-nanny software, preventing many corporate policies from giving permission to visit the site - and suddenly, nobody can use the site at work, which kinda defeats the purpose of the site!
Sorry, but you will have to continue to describe problems or copy and paste error messages instead of just taking a screen shot.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

other reputed forum allow upload image in the post like forum.asp.net, msdn forum, stackoverflow etc to name a few. so how they are managing ?
when people write article then they are embedding images then how they embed images when they compose article for this web site ?
thanks

MSDN etc are all moderated forums - these aren't, which means that items appear here quicker as they don't need human intervention.
Articles here are all moderated, which means the images can be checked for appropriate content (as well as copyright status) before the article is published for public consumption.

That's not what he said. He said MSDN was a moderated forum - they have people checking things that are posted there. If you look, you'll see a lot of MS staff answering there. CP has a smaller staff so it's up to community moderation to make sure people don't post inappropriate content and we're all volunteers. Remember that different people and different cultures images differently so you could end up offending someone without even realising. There will be no pictures in the forums.

There is no option to do so. You can upload the image elsewhere and provide a link. When having enough reputation (Platinum author or authority) you have a personal area here at CodeProject where the file can be stored.
If you want to provide an image in this forum (Bugs & Suggestions) to show a related behaviour, post your message, explain the bug / suggestion and note that you have an image. Then an administrative member might offer you to send the image as mail attachment.

Checked for plagiarism? That would explain closing the first account

If this would've been the case the article itself shouldn't have been available at all, right?
