: There are invisible blue boxes on my artworks that I can't delete them in Illustrator CC 2018! EDIT: I figured out what happened. Somehow I got a jpg on my artboard and accidentally hide it.

Assuming you are opening an SVG file from some unknown source....

Color filled SVG type can do that at times. It can generate raster image fills with vector clipping masks for some SVG files.

Not certain why it happens, but I've seen it related to type within some SVG files and how they are saved (or what may be saving them).

Removing them can be easy or difficult depending upon the actual file. I generally use the Links Panel to see if it's just a bunch of raster images. If so, the raster images can be selected and deleted via the Links Panel (you lose the fill colors). Then you generally have to release clipping masks and refill the "hollow" paths left behind with appropriate colors to match what the raster images were doing.

I just noticed this is a one color job.
For this particular instance, without knowing any additional information, you could possibly just go the menu bar and use Select->Same Fill Color. Then Cut and Paste it to another document.

If these are just guides that need to be cleared then try to unlock all your layers, then try Object-> Unlock all, and finally go to View-> Guides-> Clear Guides
