I believe that the Terminal app can not be deleted. It is installed as part of Apple's operating system. It should be located in your Applications folder. What operating system do you have? Possibly in some old versions, such deletions may have been possible. You can try downloading your OS from the Apple App Store to reinstall it or possibly doing an upgrade to a newer OS. Doing so should then reinstall your Terminal app.
