A deleted user account prevents a user from logging into the system. A deleted user account must be restored by an authorized user before it can be used again to access the system. 

An account is deleted when it is no longer needed. For example, an account may be deleted when someone leaves your organization, or their roles have changed within the organization. Depending on your program and organization's policies these criteria will vary.
