What is true regarding the command userdel --force --remove bob? (Choose TWO correct answers.)

The `userdel` command's primary function is to remove a specified user's account entry from the `/etc/passwd`, `/etc/shadow`, and other relevant system user databases.

The `--remove` (or `-r`) option with `userdel` explicitly instructs the command to delete the user's home directory and mail spool, ensuring associated files are also cleaned up from the system.

The `locate` database is not automatically updated by `userdel`; it requires a separate `updatedb` command, which is typically run periodically by cron.

`userdel --remove` only deletes the home directory and mail spool; it does not scan all mounted filesystems to remove all files owned by the user, which would be a highly destructive action.

`userdel` does not automatically delete a group even if the user being deleted was the last member; group deletion must be done explicitly with `groupdel`.
