    No need to delete it.
    Just for general information if somebody reads this looking for help:

    Open Windows Command Box (Start->Run->Cmd)
    Type: net user postgres /delete

    Easier for people to copy/paste the code into the command window, if it is posted here in the php code boxes (standard code boxes don't work properly here for some reason).



    For uninstalling SQL please follow these steps:

    -Download Revo Uninstaller and use it to uninstall PostgreSQL. After it uninstalls it will give you options to select and delete all the associated registry entries.
    - manually delete the Program Files\Postgresql folders
    - run the command - start > run > cmd >


    PHP Code:
    net user postgres /delete 
    - reboot.
    - install again, with your firewall uninstalled or turned off if windows firewall
