Sysadmin hailed as hero for deleting data from the wrong disk drive

Back in DOS days, we had DoubleSpace running to compress data to a CVF. Even then users were filling disks. Got a call one day from a (slightly) tech-savvy user that they'd made more space by finding this HUGE hidden file called DBLSPACE.000 and deleting it.

Oddly enough they were no longer able to find their data, and various error messages were showing on reboot.
