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?

Is the file not visible in the map or not visible at all ? (layer manager ?)– SnaileaterApr 22, 2019 at 9:25

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 AbrahamApr 22, 2019 at 10:18

Ensure there's no scale dependent visibility (Layer/Properties/General tab)– SnaileaterApr 22, 2019 at 10:49

Before your editing your were seeing the layer without any problem ?– SnaileaterApr 22, 2019 at 11:04

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