This is a useful exercise, and everyone should become familiar with the various techniques for recovery. But it can be hard to simulate.
If you are working on Unix (or Linux), it can be impossible to simulate: you can use rm to delete the file, and your database will probably remain open. This is because all rm did was delete the directory entry; the file still exists. You will get an error only after a shutdown, when you try to start up.
If you are working on WIndows, the del command will refuse to delete it because it is open. So you'll have to find some utility that will delete an open file.
An alternative approach is to try to corrupt the file. On Unix, perhaps use vi to insert a load of rubbish, and save. On Windows, I think you may be able to edit and save with notepad.exe.

Oh, I see! We thought you wanted to simulate the problem. The steps for recovering afterwards are all in your Backup and Recvory User Guide, there are several techniques depending on the nature iof the damage and whether you have either an RMAN backup or a ser managed backup.
