unnecessary layers

How can I get rid of unnecessary layers?
delete & purge are impossible inspite of the fact that there is no object using these layers.

try wblocking the parts of the drawing you actually want to keep.

Not true. Something is referencing these layers or they would be purgable.

If all else fails, consider SuperPurge from www.manusoft.com
It will purge the layers you desire along with anything referencing
those layers.

 

With much hesitation,

Here is an autolisp routine that I found on Cadalyst.com that will purge the
layer but beware it does

REMOVE the Layer and ANYTHING that might still be on it. As it states

"USE VERY CAREFULLY!" as it WILL delete anything remaining on the layer.

Visible or not!

I'm not sure either if this could leave the drawing in an unstable state.

There are others more knowledgable than I in this ng that could address that
aspect of the program.
