I really don't understand this. Should the content of that folder not at least be in my "deleted files" section??

Not for a shared folder, no. If you leave its just removed. 

If your wife is also seeing that can she rejoin the share OR can she find them somewhere else - often if a cleanup tool is used and hidden files deleted this can cause that.
