Cannot select arrow that was previously "Sent to Back"

I am creating a flow chart and have to move some objects around. I have an arrow that I believe I set as "send to back" that I cannot select in order to delete it.

Any way of doing this?

Thanks

    Usual suspects:

    • unselectable item is not in the apparent frame, but on the page - this can be tricky to fix
    • graphics frame inside another frame: item isn't in the frame it appears to be in - send apparent frame to back
    • some other element has Run-Around turned on - turn it off

    Is the flowchart inside an anchored or graphic frame? If so, then select the frame and use ctrl-A to select all, then try to click on the arrow to make it the only selection.

    If you haven't usd frames, then just do a ctrl+A on the page to select everything and try to select that arrow. WIth a lot of objects in front of it, you may have to de-select the others first (ctrl+click).
