Why am I seeing two grids in this file?

I am very confused. I set up a 'base' file with a particular sized artboard and a grid. Now when I open it up, it looks like the grid is part of the drawing to me. In the background is a much larger grid. I have tried to manipulate the larger grid (by changing its color to red) and I am not able to.

Can anyone tell me what I have done??

I am not sure what the problem was. But I made the background white and it seems to have resolveed itself.

I have tried to drag and drop and browse to my file to add it. I am not sure it is work.

This is a snip of the file open in AI.

In the preferences you can set up a grid line every x lines. Could that be it?

I hope the file is attached to this comment. I can't see it in the original post.
