Description

I'd like to inform users, who have shared data of a to-be-deleted user, to also be informed about the possible account retention, because the shared data will be deleted. This is currently happening without notification.

We had multiple users in production, who said "their" data was deleted, which was due to other users, who got deleted, deleting the shared data in the process

Research direction

No files or tests are named in the issue. Start by tracing the user-retention deletion flow and how shared data is handled, then identify where affected users can be notified; done means users who shared data with a user scheduled for deletion receive an account-retention warning before that data is removed.
