Hi, What credentials are you using to delete the user? make sure you have proper rights on that one. You Cannot Delete an Active Directory Object of Unknown Type http://support.microsoft.com/kb/305104 Vishal Ramnani | MCITP - Exchange 2007 | MCSE Messaging | MCTS - Win 2008 Config

Did you try deleting it from ADSIEDIT.msc? if yes, what was the result? Also try these new MS tools to remove an object...
