At some point put an alias to a file/folder there (click and drag on a file or folder up to the toolbar of a window and let go of it will put a shortcut to that file or folder in all finder windows). If you delete that file/folder the system can no longer find it and will replace the icon in the toolbar with a ?

To get rid of the ? just right click (control click) on the icon and select "Remove Item" from the drop down menu. You can remove it using the View menu's "Customize Toolbar...", just drag it out of the toolbar and it will disappear with a poof.
