To Remove a Block Definition

Removes unused named objects, such as block definitions and layers, from the drawing at the Command prompt.

Purge allows you to remove unused named objects from a drawing at the Command Prompt. You can only remove one level of reference at a time. Repeat the command until there are no unreferenced, named objects.

1. At the Command prompt, enter PURGE.

   Options related to removing unused named objects and some empty geometric objects are displayed.

2. You are prompted to select type of unused objects to purge. Select type of objects from the list.
3. Enter Names of the objects to purge.
   Note: The PURGE command will not remove unnamed objects (zero-length geometry or empty text and mtext objects) from blocks or locked layers.
4. Enter Y to verify each name to be purged.
