The only thing that comes to my mind is the synchronization feature (you
can activate it in the admin view under "workplace tools".

This feature will sync down all files and upon import it will remove all
files that have been exported but are not there anymore on import time.

I don't know how this works, though. Maybe you can derive something
helpful from that, maybe not.

You couldlso try to delete a file but not publish it and then do an
export of that part of the folder tree. Maybe the manifest file is able
to express the deletion-information. Like that it should be easy to find
out.

These are the only things that come to my mind.
