Magento 2 website no longer loads after running compile command

Question

I'm currently developing a website on a local installation of Magento 2.

I was following advice on how to add a .phtml file to my pages. Customize Footer in magento2

I followed one solution that advised to run compile command after making the changes.

php bin/magento setup:di:compile

I did this and now my Magento 2 website no longer loads.

I'm not sure what has happened or how to fix it.

In system.log I'm only seeing the following:

[2020年06月25日 00:01:47] main.ERROR: Unable to resolve the source file for 'frontend/_view/en_GB/Magento_Theme/favicon.ico' [] []
[2020年06月25日 00:01:47] main.CRITICAL: Unable to resolve the source file for 'frontend/_view/en_GB/Magento_Theme/favicon.ico' [] []

Can I undo this command?

Any solution would be hugely appreciated.

The find command (as described here) doesn't work in XAMPP: link
