Lock-and-Publish accounts deletions?

• A. Delete all related accounts in the hierarchy
• B. Delete only the parent account
• C. Isolate deletions to that account, no matter which accounts exist in the larger structure
• D. Isolate deletions to the top-level account

Answer: (C)

Isolated deletions within a hierarchical account setup: when you delete a lock-and-publish account, the removal applies only to that specific account and does not cascade to its parent or other accounts in the structure. This containment protects the rest of the hierarchy from unintended data loss and keeps governance and publishing workflows stable. In practice, you can remove a single sub-account without affecting its siblings or the top-level account, which is why deletions are confined to the targeted account.
