# What happens to Archived content and widgets when a user is deleted?

When you delete a user, you have the option to either transfer the ownership of that user's content to another user or delete all content created by that user. For more information, see [Delete a user](/desktop/docs/deletingauser).

**Case 1:** You transferred the deleted user's content to another user.

> Archived content/widgets are also transferred to the new user, and this is reflected in the content/widgets section in the Archived section.

**Case 2:** You deleted all the content created by the deleted user.

> The Archived content/widgets created by that user are deleted.
