Deleting is similar to what you have for adding. The suggestion to change to using List is a good one, but it CAN be localized to your DeleteMember() routine.

Try something like this (edited):

public void DeleteMember(string name)
{
    if (ML == null)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(name + " had not been added before.");
    }
    else
    {
        int memberIndex = ML.ToList().FindIndex(p => p.Name == name);
        if (memberIndex == -1)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(name + " had not been added before.");
            return;
        }
        List tmp = new List(ML);
        tmp.RemoveAt(memberIndex);
        ML = tmp.ToArray();
    }
}
