Whenever I try to save my assets as SVGs, they always end up with additional artwork that's not even on the same file. They look fine when saved as pngs and other files, but when they're saved as SVGs, they have more vector objects than there should be.
This is what the assets in my logo file are supposed to be like. Notice Asset 44:
When I open up the SVG file or import it onto InDesign, I get this:
The artwork comes from another file I created earlier, but I never pasted any of the hands artwork onto the logo file. I checked every layer and group of my file, and these hands are not in any of them. It's not an issue with having the file open, because I noticed the problem before I even opened up this handshake.ai file.
I tried to export the logos again. I tried cutting and pasting them, then exporting them as SVGs again. When I export the other assets as SVGs, the hands show up again. What gives? How do I fix it?
Thank you so much for replying, you're a life saver! You really helped me fix my problem. Turns out, my new document profile for Web documents contained the artwork for some reason.
For anyone else with this problem, here's how to get to the files to fix it:
Windows: "%AppData%\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator <version> Settings\<locale>\x64"

Looks like this problem:
Can you check your New Document Profile that you use for new documents?

Thanks Celina, good to hear that solved it.
But it remains a mystery how the artwork became part of your new document profile.
