This is a system account, used primarily by IIS. Check whether IIS is installed as a Windows component, and remove it if so.
Uninstall IIS from your computer. Then delete the account. the IUSR is needed for IIS functionality.
That's what I thought....when I go to Control Panel->Add Remove Programs->Add remove windows components, nothing happens, nothing at all....
Is there a command line way to remove IIS?

Yes, you can use sysocmgr.exe
sysocmgr /i:%windir%\inf\sysoc.inf /u:c:\answerfile.txt /r /q
Answer file:

iis_common = OFF
iis_www = OFF
iis_inetmgr = OFF
You can add more to the file as you wish.

You can also use pkgmgr.exe straight from iis.net
