Can not purge blocks from table

[costas.vassiliou]

I attached a dwg to show what I mean.

The dwg has table ( 1row 1 column). Nothing else.
If you check the blocks in the dwg you will see that there are more than 10 blocks in the drawing.

I use purge but they are not deleted.

The only way to get rid of them is to explode the table and then purge.
I do not want to explode the table in my original drawing.

Is there another way to purge the blocks ? Why this is happening anyway ?

Thanks

For starters, your file has nothing but a one row -one column table. basically just a single table cell no other info.

Sorry I see what you are getting at. you are wanting to purge the blocks for your block library without exploding the single table. The only thing I can think of is some how the table is a nested reference in the blocks. So the blocks won't purge because the block definitions are still in use until the table is deleted or exploded.

Thanks for your reply anyhow.

Thanks for your reply anyhow.

I don't get what is supposed to be in this single cell table. Can't you just create a new table style, make it current and use that instead? If you do and erase the original, you can purge the drawing...

I think the single cell table was an example, showing that there is only a single cell table in the dwg, but the block table has multiple blocks that can not be removed with the purge command.

The way I read it the OP has placed a block into the table then removed the block, it then becomes non purgable as it is referenced by the table, how can the OP purge these blocks?
