Object too big to delete

Question

So I was messing around with the size up and size down features and I decided to make this little animal shaped pot thingy the size of planet earth. I reverted until it was gone (or so i thought) but it wasn't actually gone. I finished the house I was building and was very happy, but then I was terrified to know that it was still there, and that i wasn't building in night time, it was just the huge shadow. And let's just say that I miss sunlight and I can't even delete the object because it's so big I can't get rid of it. I checked and bulldozing the lot does get rid of it, but I worked VERY hard on this stupid house and I don't want it gone. Is there anything I can do to get rid of this? Like, maybe some way you can make the camera face the sky so I can actually see the object and delete it?

Also I checked saving the lot, bulldozing, and then loading it again, but the huge pot comes back. Please help.

By the way, the attached file is a picture of the object from the game's map, I just didn't realize the file name would show, sorry

@ThatSingularity&nbsp;Save the lot to your library, bulldoze the lot and place it again from your library. The game will remove anything that exceeds the lot boundary.

@jpkarlsen I'm afraid, as already mentioned in the post, I have already tried that.

@ThatSingularity&nbsp;You mentioned Bulldozing not the rest. However if this fails there is only one thing you can do if you can't find the footprint of it (looks like a tree) remember that even though you enlarged it the footprint stays the same so you must click exactly where you originally placed it. But back to that other solution. Save the house itself not the lot to your library and bulldoze the lot place the house again. You will have lost the things outside but at least you will have the house. One additional tip if there are something outside you really want&nbsp; to preserve you can build walls around it and save it as a room.

@ThatSingularity&nbsp;Another thing you can try is to move a sim into the lot and then move them out again.&nbsp; When you get the prompt to keep or sell the furniture.&nbsp; Keep it so everything goes into the household inventory.&nbsp; Then move the sim back into that lot or another one and you should be able to sell the item that got enlarged from the household inventory.&nbsp; But you're have to refurnish the build again from the household inventory or in build mode from the map.&nbsp; But at least you won't have to build the house again, just refurnish it.&nbsp; Of course, if that item is a landscape object like a tree or outside plant, it won't work but from your description of the item, it sounds like it's a deco item.&nbsp; I can't recognize exactly what it is from your pic.&nbsp;&nbsp;Otherwise, as&nbsp;@jpkarlsen&nbsp;said, you'll need to find the right place on the lot to find the item so you can click on it so you can grab and delete it.&nbsp; Either way, it'll probably take a lot of time.Hope this helps.
