I have one doubt. I know that if the user has delete his account all his voting will be reversed.

I also assume that question and their answers will also be deleted.

But what if there is a protected question post by the user.Will it also be deleted or is there a way to prevent those questions from being deleted ?

    I think it's very unlikely that a protected question would not have an upvoted answer - which means it can't be deleted.

  • I assume it is automated one and not moderated by users. Can you please explain how would say that both the question and answer wouldn't be helpful for future readers Was it based on votes that it received ?

    It won't based on the votes received.In Ask Ubuntu, questions about Ubuntu versions which reached End Of Life are closed as offtopic.Answers to that question won't be helpful for the future readers because no one willing to install an unsupported version.In that case both the question and its corresponding answers would be deleted.
