If the question starts with "how do I locate a file", the answer is 
(almost) always: use the "find" command....

Also in this case :)

find / -type f -uid -500 -print

This finds all regular files owned by a user with user ID less than 500. 
See "man find" for details. This assumes that your admin users have a 
uid of less than 500, and regular users have uids greater than 500, 
which is the case if you didn't force uids yourself when creating users.
