(Not really familiar with Mirror, what it does, how it works, but I'm thinking only from a backup source - if you have one.)

You can not undo a FreeFileSync (FFS) sync.
You can obviously restore the files form your backup, assuming you have one (as you should have).
If not,it depends on the "Delete and Overwrite" setting (in the Synchronization Settings, F8) you used during your Mirror sync.
If you used "Recycle bin", you should be able to find the deleted files there.
If you used "Permanent", you are out of luck.
If you used "Versioning", look in your the Versioning location you used.
