creation of user id of "service"

[Guest]

I need to create an account called "service". When I try, the system states that there is already an account with that name. I can't find it anywhere and don't understand why I can't create this account. I am logged in as Administrator
thanks,

Service, also termed Local Service is built-in.
Why must you define an account by that specific name ?
You cannot remove the built-in, or at least would not
be wise to remove its useability.
