probably something else got damaged, too (an "Unable to read header
file..." error should not happen related to deleting of tables). Maybe
temporarily disk full?

Overall, in this special case you could simply delete the broken
vector map using a file manager and remove the related files from the
mapset/vector/name_of_map/
