I am new to the Administration part of the Oracle server,Just want to know will deleting a user means data related to that user will also get deleted? Thanks you.

A: 

Depends upon what you mean by "related". Every user in the database has a corresponding schema, with tables, indexes and so on. If you drop a user, their schema and all the data in it goes too. If the user has put data into other tables, that data does not go anywhere.
