You've deleted site9, haven't you?  The program "locate" looks for files
within an internal database (found at /var/lib/locatedb) matching patterns
you supply to the locate program.  The internal database is updated nightly
by default from a cron job so if you deleted that site since the database
was last rebuilt, it will list files that don't currently exist.  If you
want to rebuild the database, go to the shell and type "updatedb &" (without
the quotes) to run the program that updates locate's database.  "man
locate", "man updatedb" for more info.  As an alternative you can use the
program "find" which looks for matching files on the filesystem in realtime,
but it will be *a lot* slower.

According to your email you have a user deletion problem.  What is it?
