You have to make sure this account is not being used by sharepoint.For this

  • go to central admin > security > Configured the managed accounts
  • On this page, click Edit button infront of the service account you are trying to delete
  • next page, look bottom of the page and it will list all the apppool or services where this ID is being used.
  • Now you have to change id for that apppool / service from SharePoint not directly from IIS. then reset IIS and try again.

    did you change it from sharepoint not from IIS? cenral admin > security > configure the service account. from here select app pool and then change the id from last drop down. – Waqas Sarwar MVP♦ May 9 '17 at 20:18
