How to get rid of all the lines around a shape

I created an ellipse and it has all these inward-facing lines around it. I suspect this has something to do with stroke but cannot see how to get rid of them. When I hit stroke and enter zero, I am told this isn't possible.

Hi @AntoniaAgain 

 

Your Properties are for your document because you have no shapes selected and no layers selected.

 

 

To see the Properties for your Shape, you must first select it with the Path Selection tool. It will say "Shape Properties" at the top.

 

 

I used the options bar here, not Properties. Follow the red squares and uncheck Dashed Line.

    It looks like a dashed line on a stoke.

     

    Did you make the stroke with a shape tool or is it a stroke as a Layer effect? Check layers to see if you have any layer effects. If not, select the shape and show your options and properties panels.

      I did not make a stroke at all. I just went to the side panel and created an ellipse and that came around the outside. I have never created any stroke resembling this for any previous shape.  Went into properties and see nothing.
