    No, I'm afraid not. 

    Every person in the share has the same rights to it - i.e. they can add/edit/delete things. 

     

    The only possibility is if they have kept a copy elsewhere. What does sometimes happen is that a person moves the files out of Dropbox share to a different directory which deletes from the share, but, they still have them.
