If you notice before you commit, you issue a rollback. Otherwise you need
to recover from backup. If you don't have a backup, then you might be
able to do some fancy stuff to see old tuples. If you are going to do
this you should shutdown the database and make a copy of what you have.
If you haven't done a vacuum since the delete, the old tuples should
still be stored in the database.
