Hi Dwayne05
Windows Server can provide auditing on files and folders to track who has create/moved/deleted a file or folder, but this needs to be set up beforehand and can't be done after the fact.
If you have auditing enabled on your shares, then you need to check the event log for 4660 and 4663 IIRC.
