I have deleted an important file that wasn't supposed to be on my computer in
the first place. After I deleted it, I realized that I needed to know if
anyone had accessed it before I did. Is there any way to find out if anyone
has accessed a document even after you've deleted that document? Maybe some
sort of a document log?

Not built into excel.

You could track changes on a shared workbook, but you'd still need the file.
(And sharing a workbook disables lots of useful stuff.)
