Cant delete local appearance from part

[karthur1]

I am tryiing to "purge" a local appearance in a part.  From the tools>Appearance, I want to delete the Knurled (Coarse), but the delete is greyed out.

I cleared the appearance overrides, but it is still greyed out.  Here is a short video of what I have tried.

The reason I am going thru this excersice it to remove the knurl.bmp that shows up in by vault browser... watch the end of the video.

In order to delete a local appearance, it cannot be in use in the file (which I'm sure you already know).  Is it possible there's a material still cached in the file that references that appearance?  The Purge Styles box shows materials that are not in use, you might want to check there.

Otherwise, I don't have any more ideas, but can offer my sympathy-- been in that situation a number of times!

I couldn't get rid of it either.
