Right click on the account and select "Delete"

The same "Local Users and Groups" 'snap-in' can be accessed through lusrmgr.msc, in case you'll ever need to do this often. – grawity Oct 7 '09 at 11:38

If I remember correctly this not accessible on Windows XP Home Edition. Just a heads up. – ElvisFanTCB Aug 26 '11 at 5:25

Go to Control Panel > User Accounts, click the account you want to delete and click Delete the account.

You can read more about it here, if you like.

In WinXP, you can also do this from the Control Panel > System (aka My Computer > Properties). On the Advanced tab is a User Profiles section; click Settings. This is usually used to make copies of a profile, but also allows you to delete one, or change a profile from roaming to local.

From the command line - net user UserName /delete
