I'm a newbie for QGIS and trying to learn. I was editing the attribute table in which process I deleted some rows. Then the layer became invisible in the project. After trying a lot I decided to redo the project. To do so, I started a new project and reloaded the shapefiles from the zip file. But out of three layers the problematic shapefile still is not visible. What should I try next?

It's not visible on the map. The layer is there. when I use select by location, the selected area gets highlighted. If I deselected all the other layers and leave that layer nothing is visible.Yisehaq Abraham– Yisehaq Abraham2019年04月22日 10:18:28 +00:00Commented Apr 22, 2019 at 10:18

The root cause of the problem is corrupt .shx file. Maybe after improper deletion of data from attribute table.

Please disregard the previous answer. The root cause of the problem is corrupt .shx file. May be after improper deletion of data from attribute table.Yisehaq Abraham– Yisehaq Abraham2019年04月22日 13:39:45 +00:00Commented Apr 22, 2019 at 13:39
