deleting the postgres-windows-account is not really what someone
should wish for. As the files of that account (i.E. the
database-files) are tightly coupled with the account on Windows.

Just for reference:

postgres windows account may be killed and password-changed via
administration, computer, users and groups

or:

- to remove (be warned that when using windows crypted filesystems
this may be a real bad thing to do, and without them I would not
recommend it)
net user postgres /delete

- to change password
net user postgres NewPassWord98uL

best wishes
