If deleting a page "only made the corruption appear on the next" page; that suggest corruption linked with 
header or footer. Did you try changing Page style (Insert > More Breaks > Manual Break > Page Break, Style) 
before deleting the page with corruption?

Were the elements not at all visible in Navigator? Did you try examining in an XML editor? (First 
save the file in FODT (Flat ODT) format or unzip the ODT file to examine content.xml.)
