By and large you should be OK unless you create a new partition and format it.

When you delete a partition it just removes the reference from the disk's partition table. The data should all still be there. In fact, if you're lucky you should just be able to mount it again.

Still, these situations are best avoided where possible!

testdisk (google 4 it) will also remedy this situation.
