Inherited a server, account appears to be regular user, but when I try to delete its says can not delete because it is a built-in account. Account looks like this:
User Name = Joe, Full-Name = Joe; Comments = User Account



How can I remove this user
 
Is there an "administrator" account? If not, the person you inherited this server from may have renamed the "administrator" account for security purposes. Hope this helps!

You probably can't. If I remember correctly you can't delete built in accounts. I know for sure you can't delete the admin accout, is it the admin account or maybe another account thats been renamed?
 
Yes, there is an administrator account. I will check to see what other built-in account is missing.

Thank you
