You can look at your Events page, or if the files are still in Deleted Files you can restore one of them and then look at its version history to see who deleted it, but all you'll see is a name. The IP information is not available.

 

If the files have already been deleted from Deleted Files (i.e. permanently deleted), it's not possible to see any information on the files.

The only information available will be found on your Events page, or in the Version History of a file if you're able to recover one from Deleted Files.
