What version of Windows are you using? Some of the ancient ones didn't
have the net command. That command should be found in
c:\windows\system32, depending of course on how you've got your OS
installed. When you say it "doesn't recognize the instructions", what
is it saying? I just ran "net help user" from the command line, and it
says your last two arguments should be reversed.

At any rate, if you have admin rights on this computer, you'll
accomplish exactly the same thing if you simply open up User Accounts
from the Control Panel and delete the account that way.
