Check Finder Preferences. See if AirDrop is enabled in the sidebar. If it is, toggle it and try again.
Restart your Mac, and see if that clears this.
Restart into Safe Mode, and try again. This rebuilds caches, and disables some common add-ons.
If that doesn’t work, post again, and I’ll post some info for retrieving and posting the system config.

AirDrop isn’t something that can be deleted. Not easily.
Which MacBook Air year, which version of macOS, why do you think it’s deleted, and what have you tried?
Here are set-up details, and the prerequisite hardware and software versions:
Good that it’s working.
Any Mac running Sierra can be upgraded to High Sierra. I’d upgrade at least that far.
Your Mac is new enough for Mojave (last version with 32- and 64-bit app support), and for Catalina, and for the current Big Sur.
It is a 2017 MacBook Air. The OS is Sierra 10.12.6
It suddenly stopped working and no longer appears in finder. I have searched for it on the computer under applications and for answers online.

I see no preferences and usually Airdrop is visible in finder.
In Finder->Preferences->Sidebar make sure AirDrop is selected.
You nailed it! Thank you very much! Interestingly it is not coming up like it once did with my name but the fact that I can do this again is great. I appreciate your help!
