Answer 2

Something like this should do the trick(not tested):

DirectoryEntry localMachine = new DirectoryEntry("WinNT://" +  Environment.MachineName);

DirectoryEntries entries = localMachine.Children;
DirectoryEntry user = entries.Remove("User");
entries.CommitChanges();

Answer 3

Clause Thomsen was close, you need to pass the DirectoryEntry.Remove method a DirectoryEntry paramenter and not a string, like:

DirectoryEntry localDirectory = new DirectoryEntry("WinNT://" + Environment.MachineName.ToString());
DirectoryEntries users = localDirectory.Children;
DirectoryEntry user = users.Find("userName");
users.Remove(user);

Alternatively using System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement in .NET 3.5:-
