    I searched and found this to delete Layer Filters:

    (defun C:fe ()
    (vl-Load-Com)
    (vl-Catch-All-Apply '(lambda ()
    (vla-Remove
    (vla-GetExtensionDictionary
    (vla-Get-Layers
    (vla-Get-ActiveDocument
    (vlax-Get-Acad-Object)))) "ACAD_LAYERFILTERS")))
    (princ "\nAll layer filters have been deleted.")
    (princ)
    )

    Could someone tell me how to use it?
    I'm assuming it's a Visual Basic routine?

    Sorry...I'm REALLY naive on this stuff.....but these filters are driving me up the wall....and there is about 300 of them.

    TIA

    No, its not vba. Its lisp. Save the code to a text file using Notepad and
    name it fe.lsp. Then drag it to your current dwg to load it and type
    FE at the command line.

    what do you mean by dragging it to my current drawing?

    just drag and drop it in the actual autocad file?

    Yes, using Explorer. I just gave you the simplest way, since you are not
    familiar with programming. You could also use Appload. Check out help on how
    to use this.

    Only 300? :)
    Wait till you have about 9000, and they start propagating to every drawing... UGH
