When you delete an account, you need to sign it with the key set at account creation.

new AccountDeleteTransaction()
    .setAccountId(accountId)
    .setNodeAccountIds(Collections.singletonList(response.nodeId))
    .setTransferAccountId(operatorId)
    .freezeWith(client)
    .sign(key)
    .execute(client)
    .getReceipt(client);

** JavaScript **

await (
    await (
        await new AccountDeleteTransaction()
            .setAccountId(account)
            .setNodeAccountIds([response.nodeId])
            .setTransferAccountId(operatorId)
            .setTransactionId(TransactionId.generate(account))
            .freezeWith(client)
            .sign(key)
    ).execute(client)
