Got it !! 

Thank you for the advice.

I will restore it via disklabel.

OpenBSD does not have any tools to shrink a filesystem. Changing the disklabel
doesn't change the filesystem.

*IF* you didn't write anything to the space that used to be your filesystem,
you should be able to change the disklabel back to the way it was before.
