Where did this line come from and how do i delete it?

[California Gold]

I did this logo last week, and today I open ithe .ai file and there is a strange black rectangle in the middle of it that wasn't there before. I can't select it, delete it or anything.

Can anyone tell me how this line got there and how to delete it?

Adding that it only happens with this one file. Other files I created last week do not have this problem.

Thanks.

Wirhout being able to even see a complete screenshot it's impossible to help you.

- Check out the Layers panel. Does the rectangle show up there?

- Is there a special appearance apüplied to any of the layers or objects?

- WHen you go into presentation preview i the rectangle still there?

- when you export the file: does it show?

Can you check the Artboards panel? Maybe you have multiple artboards on top of each other.

I just had to reset preferences for another weird issue I started having and that fixed it, must have been related.

Thanks.
