If they are attribute annotated objects, then the annotation is deleted with 
the object. In every other case, be it principals or other objects, there 
should be subscribers that listen to the ObjectDeletedEvent. I am not sure 
whether all of our utilities do that right now, but it is definitely 
possible. 

Here is a list of utilities/services that need to listen to such removal 
events:

- Integer Id Utility
- Index Utilities
- Principal Annotation Service

Can anyone think of any others?
