I was painting on my map with “hillside” material when parts of my landscape materials disappeared in parts of the grid?

I closed the map without saving in hopes that it would reload normally with out the grays areas. But it loaded the same glitched surfaces.

I also completely closed down Unreal Editor Version: 5.0.3-20979098+++UE5+Release-5.0 and restarted it, opened my world and the terrain is still glitched? I can not paint over or cover the “gray” areas on my map.

I any guidance or solution to solve this and allow me to continue working on my map would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you  
Dennis Kerley

I found a solution! I can not yet fully explain how it works or why it works; but I wanted to share the link to the video I used to fix my issue. Hopefully it will help others too.
