It’s not a person, the holodecks are just designed in a horrifying way. We learned from an early TNG episode that when the holodecks do an uncontrolled shut down, they reclaim all the matter within them. It requires a special intentional function to leave the people behind.
That’s a whole other question. The replicators of TNG era weren’t protein resequencers like they were in Enterprise. They were simple matter/energy conversion. They would reclaim the matter and store any remaining energy in the ship’s reserves.
In Voyager they said the holodecks ran on a completely separate power supply than the rest of the ship, so maybe they never really intermingled with the replicator systems

So don’t worry about it, they’re self-cleaning
