Did you sign up to Spotify with a Facebook account? If yes, that happens to you. You can make a normal account on the sign up page by choosing "Create an account using email address" at the bottom.

If you didn't sign up with Facebook, make sure you log into Spotify using your username, not your email address. Typing an email address on Spotify's username field will attempt a Facebook login, and if you haven't logged into Spotify with that Facebook account before, a new dummy account with a username as bunch of numbers gets created.

The only way to get your account deleted is to have Spotify support do it for you. Then your email address will get freed up and you should be able to make a new account with the email method, which allows you to choose a custom username as well.

You can't change an account's username. However, because you're connected to Facebook now, inside Spotify it should appear as your Facebook real name.

If you still want to delete the account so you can make a new one, send a message to support here:
