A file was deleted, how to find who did it?

There is no history for folder now, so if a file was deleted, how to find who did it?

I don't know if this is the easiest way, and I have never done this
myself, but I think this will work:

Find a stream or a workspace or a baseline that still has the file. Show
the history of the file. At or near the top should be the change set
where the file was deleted. (You might have to click on the "Show All in
Repository" button to see that change set.)

Thanks for the solution, but it is also hard to find a baseline that still has the file, without folder history feature, tracing the deletion of file and folder would be almost impossible.

You may search for a change set and enter the file's name as a search parameter. Also, check off the type of change as a deletion.

Yes, that's easy enough for me now.
