Ended up creating junk files of the same size, compressing them and then deleting them. I then "corrupted" the compressed file so it wouldn't open.
Very dishonest of me!! however kept me off the hook, the project was shelved the week after anyway and for reasons completely unrelated to my balls up
WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT WAS YOU!!!!! WHY I OUTTAAAAA

Don't worry - I once accidentally deleted the entire product file for a retailer. There was a backup...yup a single backup file which overwrote the previous nights backup..'cuz the DBA was too lazy/cheap to get a proper tape put in. Tip! when copying SPs from one SQL server to another tick off the "drop and recreate associated objects"(?) flag. Didn't discover this until Monday when the order refresh failed.
I had to rebuild the product file from a week old Oracle backup and by pulling the remainf products from the Linux warehouse fullfillment system. Took half a day and I cocked it up as afterwards all the new product numbers started with 2xxxxxxxx instead of 1xxxxxxxx. Brill!
I didn't hang around too long after that.
