In a previous lifetime I removed an "unused" TLS certificate. It turns out that it was a production cert that was being used to secure a whole state's worth of computers.
In my defence, the cert was not labeled properly, nor was it used properly, and there was no documentation. It took us 2 days to create a new cert and apply it to our software and deliver it to the customer. Those were 2 days I'll never get back. However, when I was finished the process was documented and the cert was labeled, so I guess its a win.
