What does your artwork look like in Outline View [Ctrl/Strg]+[Y] ?

Have you already tried [Ctrl/Strg]+[E] ?

There are probably some errant pixels in your (raster image) PNG file.  The converstion recognized them and tried to create the vector values that included those anti-aliased (non-absolute) pixels.

There are a few things you can do to get a better SVG

• Clean the PNG file in Photoshop before converting
• Create your own paths using pen tool (magnet pen should work fine)
• Clean the paths generated by the original trace.
• Change settings in Image Trace before you release/expand it to paths

Hi there,

Sorry to hear about the trouble you are facing. I would like to know if the steps suggested above by @pixxxelschubser @Ko.Maruyama worked for you? If not, I would request you to share a few more details along with the ones asked by @pixxxelschubser:

• Exact OS & version of Illustrator
• Is the issue related to a specific PNG? If yes, could you please share the PNG with us? You can upload it to the Creative Cloud (https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/share.html) and share the download link.
• A small video of your workflow, including layers panel, export settings, could be really helpful.

Regards,
