What happens to a file residing outside the home directory when the file owner's account is deleted? (Choose two.)

/lost+found is used by fsck to recover orphaned inodes caused by filesystem corruption or improper unmounting, not for files whose owner's account has been deleted.

Deleting a user account with userdel only removes the account entry and optionally the home directory; it does not delete files owned by that user elsewhere on the filesystem.

Linux filesystems store file ownership as a numeric UID, not a username string. When the user account is deleted, the UID no longer maps to a name in /etc/passwd, so tools like ls -l display the raw numeric UID instead of a username.

Linux does not automatically reassign orphaned file ownership to root when a user account is deleted - the original UID value is preserved in the inode unchanged.

Deleting a user account does not alter the inode metadata of files outside the home directory - the UID, GID, and permission bits stored in the inode remain exactly as they were before the account was deleted.
