It's built into the regular PURGE command now.

There are two parts to purging dgn linetypes and linetype data using the PURGE command in Acad 2015.  Assuming that you are using the dialog version of the purge command, the first part is to check the Automatically purge orphaned data check box in the purge dialog.  Then either select something and purge it (so that the purge or purge all button is used), or else close the dialog and reopen it.  Either way will cause all orphaned dgn linetype data to be purged.  Orphaned dgn linetype data is data that was associated with a dgn linetype that was purged in an earlier release where this data was left behind.  This orphaned data can be referencing other dgn linetypes and also anonymous blocks thus preventing them from being purged.

 

The second part of the purge is to do a normal linetype purge where you select the linetypes you want to purge and then select the purge button.  You may have to do this several times as purging one dgn linetype may make other linetypes available to be purged.

Assuming you still can't figure it out in 2015.,. The Exchange app you want is called DWGPURGE: the one you mentioned only addresses proxy objects. Pointless and irrelevant to the task.

See this post Super-Sized-Drawing-File-Challenge. It works in 2012.
