Yes, there was bits and pieces. I cleaned those off using "backspace". (Is 
that the correct way?)

I hit something. All completed nets wont display! All the layers are "on". 
Everything is visible except the completed traces.

Yes, this was on also. I did one more manual route after I cleaned under my 
pads, before everything disappeared and I still could not complete. So, once 
I get my nets back, I will do this one more time with "enforce" off.
