Deleting a login account

I'm getting the below error when trying to change a few properties for a
login account. If I delete the login from Ent. Manager and then create a new
login with the same name, I get the same error.
I can create a new user as long as i use any other name. How can this
account already exist after I manually delete it?
Is there some code I can run to find this account and delete it? It's almost
like this particular account is hidden somewhere else within SQL.
This is SQL 2000.
ERROR ***********
Microsoft SQL-DMO
Error 21002:[SQL-DMO] User 'myUser' already exists.Did you do a restore operation? Did you refresh?

that, this problem surfaced.
