As someone said, it probably found a file owned by uid 620. (This often
happens when you extract a tarball as root, the owners will be the same
as those in the tarball, which may well not correspond to a real user on
your system. Either that, or uid 620 used to exist but doesn't any
longer, or you just chown'ed a file to uid 620.)

$ awk -F: '{print "user "$1" has uid "$3}' < /etc/passwd
or just
$ less /etc/passwd
To find all files owned by uid 620,
$ find / -user 620
