    I am in the process of organizing, deleting and archiving a load of
    old drawings. Right now I open most drawing and take a better look
    what is in it. Then if need be, I close the drawing and find that
    same drawing in the acad directory and delete that drawing. This
    gets very time consuming when you have a thousand drawings to go
    through. I wish there was a way of opening a drawing an if I decide
    it is not needed, it can be deleted with one click of a button
    (without having to go through the directory again and finding that
    drawing). I have autocad 2002. tx

    There is no built in command for such, but you could write a simple
    vba script and put it on a toolbar button.

    close the drawing and when you perfrom the open dwg. routine again,
    highlight the dwg. file and hit delete key when it previews in the side
    pane. Works for me with autocad 2002.
