I have found that selecting everything you can see... then copying to a
clean new file usually gets rid of these type of things...
 
If that doesn't work... saving it as an ASCII version and then opening the
new ASCII version which converts it back into the binary version seems to
remove illegal elements in the design. Somehow the translator weeds out
elements with negative coordinates. 

Give that a try and see if it works for you.

Select Outside only gets those things that are completely outside. 
You might have i.e. a component with a refdes gone walkabout. Try 
instead, Select All, followed by Deselect Inside and see if the 
result is different.
