# HELP! Parse error: syntax error; can't access CSS to fix it

 * In trying to upload a new image, I accidentally deleted something in the theme
   editor which seems to have broken the entire website. I can no longer access 
   anything, front end or back end, and this is all I see:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘/’ in /home4/quittell/public_html/wp-content/
   themes/atahualpa/functions/bfa_header_config.php on line 294
 * Can somebody please help me? I don’t care if it wipes out the whole site, as 
   long as I can access it again. Thanks!

 * Move the theme you’re using somewhere else other than wp-content/themes or delete
   it so WordPress can auto switch to the default theme.
