I'm assuming you mean files in Teams' channel?
Teams is only a front page for many different services (SharePoint, OneDrive, Exchange, Skype, Streaming), and it have no own storage for the files. This means, there are no synchronization between Teams and SharePoint. So removing file from SharePoint removes it from Teams. But also, removing the file from Teams, removes it from SharePoint.
