Purge files reference

Shows the progress of a file purge operation. Purging a file removes all previous versions of an Autodesk Inventor file.

Access:

From Microsoft Windows Explorer or a Design Assistant session, select an Autodesk Inventor file, right-click, and select Purge.

To purge all the files in a folder or all component files in an assembly, select the folder or assembly, right-click, and select Purge All.

The Purge All operation affects all files in the folder hierarchy. For example, the purge operation on any files in the top-level folder also purges files in subfolders within that folder.
