How can I know what files were deleted in the backup?

Hi @Daniel_Patino, welcome to the forum!

Are you asking if there’s a way to list what files Duplicati considered “deleted” from the source since the last backup was done, what files were removed from a backup version (likely due to retention policy cleanup), or something else?
