You deleted the USER – or you deleted the SHARE?   

If you delete the user, shares (and the files within) don’t get deleted – only the account.  The files remain in the share in which they were stored.  

I just verified this myself – I created a user with a private share, added files to the share, then deleted the user.  The share is still there, and so are all the files.
