Im trying to select multiple anchor points to delete on this shape. But when I go to delete the anchor points the shape turns to below? Any speculation on why this would be happening? If I delete each individual anchor point it seems to not have this problem but its just too time consuming to do that.
Deleting anchor points opens up your larger shape, which makes the fill go to the end points of the segments. Try to hit CTRL+J right after you delete those anchor points, or find some other way to close your shape.
It helps if you look at your shape in outline mode using CTRL+Y. This removes the formatting from the preview, no fills, no strokes, etc ... so you can check if your segments all connect into a single shape.
If your shape is broken into multiple segments, you will get this broken up fill.
