There are some system reserved accounts in Windows. Can you share us the name of that account. Note that some accounts can't be deleted as they're required by Windows.

Thanks, Kapil, I got diverted!
The reserved accounts appear to be:
Administrator Account
Default Account "A user account managed by the system"

Any further advice?
