Player token can see caverns from outside Cragmaw Hideout

I'm getting ready to start a campaign for Lost Mine of Phandelver, and as I am looking at the Cragmaw Hideout map, it appears that my PC will be able to see all the rooms on the map prior to entering the cave. It looks as though the dark areas are blocked in somewhere on a layer, but I can't figure out which layer or how to even delete them.  Does anyone know what to do to hid this view from my players?  Please help!  Thanks!

Are you looking at it as a GM? You need to select the token and ctrl+L to function like a player with that token. You can also assign the token to yourself then relogin in as a player (make sure the player ribbon is on that map) and see what the player will see.

It looks like it might be an advanced fog of war issue. Try resetting fog of war ( here ), then check your player's view using ctrl+L as Pat S. suggested.
Thank you Pat and Tony.  Resetting the fog of war on the sheet is what did it.  I appreciate the help.
I also had this problem.  When I was logged in as a PC, I could see parts of the map I should not be able to.  I eventually discovered that if I did not use my account that had DM access and used another account with only player access, this did not occur.  It could just be coincidence, but it's something to consider. Edit:  I also reset the fog, but then later on I could see something I should not be able to when logged in as a player client on the DM account.  Hence why I use a different, player-only, account now to determine what my players can really see.
Thanks for the tip Three of Swords.  I will create a player only account so that I can test this in the future.
