log on to your domain controller open ADUC , ( AD User snap in ) , click view and make sure Advance futures turned on. Locate the problem user, go to properties , click on object tab, clear the check mark where it says " Protect object from accidental
deletion" close the user account , go back to your Exchange server try to delete it now.
You should be good to go
best
