The pre-Windows 2000 logon name you have chosen is already in use in this domain. After joining new computer to Domain!

I recently joined a new computer to my 2016 Windows Server domain. As I was going through the processing of joining the computer to the domain. It asked me if I was wanted to create or add a user account to this new computer. For the domain I clicked "skip this step" which I believe just give default setting permission to this computer on the domain. It successfully joined the domain and everything. After this I went to go create a user account name "Drake" and it says "The pre-Windows 2000 logon name you have chosen is already in use in this domain." "Choose another pre-Windows 2000 logon name, and try again" When I right clicked in Activity Directory and click on "Find" and type in "Drake" it brings up name:"Administrator" Type:"User" but I can't actually find the "Drake" User account. I thought since I checked "Skip" that it would just throw the computer in the domain with no user account.when I looked at the member of Administrator groups etc I can't find the "Drake" account that was reference earlier. I do remember when I was joining the computer to the domain it had "User field" which was filled out with "Drake" account type was standard but again I clicked on skip on this part.If somehow it did create an account already called domain account name "Drake" when I joined the computer to the domain. How do I find it and delete it? So I can create a new account where I can actually set GPO and reset password etc for that domain user account. Because now I can't do none of the following things. Because I can't find the account it anyway in my domain. This is not a business domain this is a lab testing domain. With the domain controller and Activity directory all on the same Windows Server 2016 box. Thank you for reading this!
