Modern Experience showing a blank library in list view
I am using the modern experience for Sharepoint. I created several libraries which were working fine, but I edited a column in the settings, and when I went back to the library, it just displays as blank. I can only see the title of the library, all settings and options, columns, etc. have disappeared. I even get a blank banner at the top so I can't even access the settings, I dont have the same problem with the other libraries I created.
I tried a work around by changing the experience to classic, and I can then see the columns and files, but I don't want to use the classic experience. I also tried changing browsers to Chrome and Firefox and still get the same issue. My colleague tried from her account as well and she gets the same problem, so I know it's not linked to my permissions.
I can see the files when I switch to tile view and datasheet view, but everything is blank if I am on standard view.
I hope you can help, I don't know what the issue is :(
I have attached a screenshot of the library that has an issue and one that works fine
- DeletedCreate a new standard view using defaults and set it as default view and see if it works. Then tweak that view to what you need a few things at a time. If it does it with that view you’ll know what changes caused it.

Thanks for your reply Chris! I tried that and it didn't work, still the same error. In the end I removed the column I had created just before the error happened and that seemed to do the trick for some reason... maybe just a bug!
