I'm using Weblogic 12.1.2.0.0.

I have deleted the contents of /wls_domains/mydomain/servers/admin_mydomain/data/store/default & diagnostics, and also the contents of /wls_domains/mydomain/servers/admin_mydomain/tmp

Now I cannot start the admin server and it is throwing below exception. Can someone please help me on this?

I don't believe you are supposed to remove anything from the data directory. You could try shutting down the environment, moving admin_mydomain directory to a temporary directory (say /tmp/admin_mydomain) and then restarting the environment. WebLogic should then rebuild these directories. Keep the /tmp/admin_mydomain directory in case this does not work then you can just move it back in.
