If the question meets the definition of an abandoned question (see my own current definition here), then I'd say flagging as Too Localized seems to me to be the most appropriate option.

In the case of when the question meets most of the following criteria:

• The question appears to be of decent quality (i.e., it's a legitimate question, it is not spam, it stays within community guidelines, and it remains salvageable through edits)
• The question is not a Community Wiki
• The question is about a problem specific to that user's system (or at least no one else seems to be having the same issue)
• The user's account no longer exists, so they can't follow up with additional information or accept an answer
• The question is very old and hasn't been updated in a long time (i.e., months or years)

...then I'd say flagging as Too Localized seems to me to be the most appropriate option.
