Well that sounds awful, and certainly like a good source of paranoia and anxiety. Would a human like me be deleted in such an event or how does that even work?

No, while there were once problems like that in the past, you'll just get kicked out into the real world. If it happened to me, I'd be stuck sitting in an empty void until I left the cyberworld. Most navis aren't concerned because they can easily be restored; plus, your odds of being deleted by a virus are much higher than being deleted by a device failure.
