It is in your winbind_idmap.tdb file, in the /var/lib/samba
or /var/cache/samba/... directory. If you delete this file, when it gets
recreated the SID to [U|G]ID mappings may not be the same as they were.
So deleting the file means that you will have to fix file ownerships.
Samba does not delete entries from the winbind_idmap.tdb file. If it did, then
any files that may be owned by a deleted user will have no owner.
