Check if you have a restore point and do a System Restore. Search for 'Recovery' in the search box in taskbar (Windows Search), and look for System Restore option.

I am Dave, an Independent Advisor, I will help you with this . . .
I doubt if Windows would allow you to delete Program Files (x86), it may be hidden, or you may have managed to move it . . .
If you have actually succeeded in deleting that folder, you cannot recreate it, what method did you use to delete that folder?

Since the folder "C:\Program Files (x86)" is heavily protected it is difficult to see how you managed to delete it by mistake. I'm afraid you will have to re-install Windows.
