I accidentally saved to the 3rd slot by mis-clicking (I use an emulator). Now I have two copies of the save. How do I delete the save I have on the 3rd slot? If it's not possible natively in-game, are there hacks I can do on the save file to remove it?

Check the emulator settings. You most likely have a different save type, you should try to change that and reload the game. If you don't know your old savetype, you'll need to try.
Well, you can't over write the save that is already on the game, which you got the warning message about when it said" "please press SELECT+UP+B at the start menu." so, if you want to save in game you have to start again and follow that command to be able to save after.
With the legit version of black I had the same problem, I bought a 2nd hand version and I got to the first gym and couldn't save, I had to restart the DS delete the save file and then I was able to save.

I don't think you can natively 'delete' the game save without erasing your current save slot as well.
As for a hack, I've never come across one for people to delete particular game saves (for any game). I daresay the emulator save file is a direct (S)RAM dump, and with the right tool you might be able to trial and error/ brute force remove it, but this would take time.
Other than that, you could try and find a friend (or a website) that has a save file for the level you are on, and download and use that.
Your best bet is to overwrite the extra save with a new game. It won't be blank, but at least it won't stand out
