Actually when you pressed delete button, your file.xib was selected from project, instead of deleting that control button, your Xib file was deleted, by clicking this dialog button.

Now your file has been removed from your project. Look carefully what is being used instead that file.xib. may there is still another file under the same name, or you are using another file instead of this one.

As concerning the recovery of your file, you can have a look at these posts:
