    Is there a reason you can't use the UI? If you could explain more about what you're trying to accomplish that would be helpful

use code below in hook_user_delete($account)

// Load user by using user id
$user = user_load($uid);
// Get file id of profile photo
$fid = $user->picture->fid;
// Load the file object
$file = file_load($fid);
// delete profile photo from.
file_delete($file);
// Unset the image object (my case it's 'picture')
unset($user->picture);
// Save the user
user_save($user);
