    You might have an issue with file permission settings on the server. Do you have FTP access? If so take that route, and find the files in wp-content/themes/name_of_your_theme (ideally you have a child theme set up!).

    You can also try restarting your browser and using anonymous or incognito mode (depending on the brwoser you use). Others have reported this issue and claim clearing the local browser cache was the solution:
