    Its normally a system service account used with Microsoft's Internet Information Service web server software for developing and publishing web pages.

    Also, it is sometimes related to the .NET framework

    If you work with asp.net development work then keep that account. Otherwise, you may delete/remove this account.

    The account can get created when you install .NET framework and if you are not a software Developer, it is not required . . .

    Open Control Panel - User Accounts and delete that account
