[Sunhelp] quotas and deleting users

I'm new to working with quotas, so here's a basic question.

Is there anything extra that needs to be done when deleting a user?  Does 
the users quota entry go away with the user?

The guts of my adduser script looks like the following:

while read user gid comnt
do
  # add user and set quotas
  echo Creating account for ${comnt}
  eval useradd -g ${gid} -c ${comnt} -s /bin/passwd -m ${user}
  eval edquota -p qtempl ${user}
done < ${datafile}

quotacheck -a

The guts of my deluser script looks like the following:

while read user
do
  # delete user, user's home directory, and user's mail
  echo Deleting account for ${user}
  rm /var/mail/${user}
  eval userdel -r ${user}
done < ${datafile}
