    We prove upper and lower bounds on the size of the largest square grid graph that is a subgraph, minor, or shallow minor of a graph in the form of a larger square grid from which a specified number of vertices have been deleted. Our bounds are tight to within constant factors. We also provide less-tight bounds on analogous problems for higher-dimensional grids.Comment: 12 pages, 5 figures. This version adds an application to treewidth criticality, strengthens the upper and lower bounds for hypercube subgraphs, and includes a new discussion of connections to coding theor
