Even if you're not actively taking backups you may find that FTMs settings do (my old version always saves an .FTW file and an .FBK one when I exit).
Without closing the FTM file you've accidentally deleted the person from, use windows explorer or similar to navigate to the directory it saves to and with luck you'll see a pair of files with a date and time stamp equal to when you last saved/closed your tree. Take a copy of both and rename them - they are your safe files for when it all goes belly-up. Then from within FTM open your safe backup and see if your missing person has magically reappeared.
Weigh up whether to re-add the missing person or re-key all the other changes made during your FTM session - unless it's changed, FTM saves ON EXIT not periodically during a session.
