Hello! I dragged an image into illustrator, image traced it and then dragged it into swatches. I then used live paint to fill the object I wanted to add that swatch to. I filled my object with the swatch, I then edited the swatches and messed around with the pattern options. After that I noticed that my file was laggy as if the swatch made my file size way too big. Also, when I hover around the object I filled it shows random anchor points that I can't select. It seems like the image I used/image traced is in the background , how can I get ride of this?
this picture shows what happens when I hover over the surroundings.
