    As far as I know, if you want to delete top-level site, you need to delete site collection, and SharePoint 2013 on premise CSOM can't provide a method to achieve it.MySite is a top-level site,so you could not delete it with CSOM.

    Hi AmosWu,

    I use the following code to delete my site:

    SPWebApplication sPWebApplication = SPWebApplication.Lookup(new Uri(uriAddress));
    SPFieldUrlValue _sp_Personal_Site_Location = new SPFieldUrlValue(properties.ListItem["sp_Personal_Site_Location"].ToString().Trim());

    sPWebApplication.Sites.Delete(_sp_Personal_Site_Location.Description);
    sPWebApplication.Update();

    thanks
