unable to drop user in a Database

I am unable to drop a user in a Database.
The name of the user is ‘HPOV’
When I try to delete it, I am getting an error message like "Drop failed for user ‘HPOV’
The DB principal owns a schema in the Database and cannot be dropped" Please help me to resolve this issue

You need to change the owner back to db_datareader before you can drop the role:
ALTER AUTHORIZATION ON SCHEMA::[db_datareader] TO [db_datareader]
Then attempt to drop this role. Satya SKJ
