This is a very bad situation. I personally don't know any way to recover from this other than to restore the lost datafile. Depending on when your backup was last done, and when you deleted the file, you may have to restore the entire database.

It is possible to move a datafile if you don't like where you placed it. Try reading up on the ALTER DATABASE RENAME DATAFILE command.

I can understand that. It's a tough situation to be in. I'm sure though, that you aren't the first person to delete a datafile.
