Florida law is silent on access to employment filed, so youyr ex-employer isn't obligated to to give copies or show your file to you for any reason.

There is no entitlement here. In fact I don't know an employer in the country would not not be entitled to keep their personnel file with your information.

Even in states that do require employers to give you access to your file, you get a copy and they keep the originals. They have a legitimate need to keep I-9s, W-4s, etc. You cannot force them to hand over their only copies and you have no legal right to erase the fact that you worked there.
