More details to this question:
I don't want her to have those files. I am 22 years old and haven't been on good terms with her in years. I don't feel she needs access to that stuff. Due to fear, she may try to use them.

No. They belong to you and you alone. Get them from her. If she doesn't hand them over, call the police. If she uses them to open up a line of credit or something like that, you could spend years cleaning up the damage.
