I don't do Vista, but my guess is that you need to run that as admin.

open windows explorer, navigate to \windows\system32, locate the "cmd" file, right click and "run as administrator"

then try net user postgres/delete again...

you do know if you wack this and the postgres folders, you will delete your database, yes...????
