I've include a link to a video I've made to show the problem:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUvWIB9Qpr0&feature=youtu.be
When I enter the PURGE command you can skip the video to 1:45, it take a long time to open the dialogue box.
When I copy/paste things and then open the PURGE dialogues box, around 50 000 "phantom" blocks appear. I purge all item, close the dialogue box, copy/paste even a single line and 50 000 more block appear.
The problem is that I can't copy things. I have to purge, save, close AutoCAD and now I'm abble to paste maybe 4 to 5 time before I need to: purge, save, close etc.......
What's weirder, is if I copy a single line to an other drawing that is OK and don't have this problem, it will instantaly get the problem with all those 50 000 blocks and can't copy.
PS: Sorry for my english 😉

Thanks for your reply, but it doesn't work. I've also tried a lots of other tricks I've found on different forum but I didn't found anything like the problem I have.
This morning I tried to insert my "corrupted" drawing as a XREF and redraw everything with BPOLY, unatached the XREF and it work perfectly for something like 3 hours and the problem suddenly re-appeared.
When I try to copy a simple line I have this message:
Command: Specify opposite corner or [Fence/WPolygon/CPolygon]:
Command: _copyclip 1 found
Command: _pasteclip Duplicate definition of block _ArchTick ignored.
Duplicate definition of block _Open30 ignored.
Specify insertion point:
And when I try to copy a more complexe drawing I have more "Duplicate definition":
Command: _pasteclip Duplicate definition of block _ArchTick ignored.
Duplicate definition of block _Open30 ignored.
Duplicate definition of block VIS_#8_TR ignored.
Duplicate definition of block A$C32400582 ignored.
Duplicate definition of block A$C4D9608A8 ignored.
Duplicate definition of block A$C18AB663A ignored.

Duplicate definition of block A$C51690BB4 ignored.
Duplicate definition of block A$C22CB5286 ignored.
Duplicate definition of block GRAIN ignored.
Specify insertion point:
Those are actual block I need to copy, but why I have all those msg and why those it create 50 000 ghost block.
Try a search of these forums for "DGN Linestyle". Not sure, but your issue sounds similar and I know there are solutions posted out there.
I've found how to fix this 😄
1st I've installed and run the trial version of Superpurge:
http://www.manusoft.com/software/superpurge.html
then I've installed and run this Hotfix from Autodesk:
and finished with a normal purge
Thanks to all for your help.
