Unable to export SVG

Hello Everybody. I have been trying to export an illustrator design as a SVG for a couple of hours and the same message keep appearing,

I tried everything that appeared online, from copy paste it in another artboard to restarting illustrator and nothing is working.  

Does anybody have an idea of what could be the issue?

    @Jasmine_Solis It really does sound like something inside the artwork is corrupted. What I usually do is duplicate the file, then start removing sections to see which part breaks the SVG export. I keep narrowing it down until Illustrator finally exports without throwing that message.

    I also clear out any hidden layers, run the Path - Clean Up tool to remove stray points, empty text objects, and unpainted shapes. Depending on how many layers there are, flattening them can help too. Sometimes the issue comes from a complex or “nasty” path that SVG just doesn’t like.

    Saving the artwork as a fresh Illustrator file can also reset whatever was causing the problem. After that, I try exporting as SVG again — or use Export Selection to SVG if the full export still fails.

    There is a ‘More Info’ link, do click on that for other ideas!
