I noticed that the username I used to install Ubuntu got added to a bunch of groups in the /etc/group file. I'm getting rid of unneeded accounts. Would anything break if I removed that first account?

A user needs to be in the audio group to use the sound card, as one example. It would make more sense to edit the group file with a text editor, and put your main user in every group the original user was in.

If you've enabled logging in as root then no. Otherwise you will need at least one user in the admin group so that you have an account able to become root.
