Can't Delete Text Style

pamela.frame9M7MG — Fri, 15 Dec 2023 11:11:12 GMT

I've been updating some of my standard templates and want to delete one of the text styles because it is saying it is still in use. I can't find it anywhere. I've tried qtext and quick select to try and find it.

Possibly try the Purge...

and if you really can't find it (if you can't understand the Purge-information, as shown above),

you can merge the textstyle with another one, command STANDARD

or share the data (.dwg), say what style you are talking about.

A lot of people are kind and offering help.

If text is in active its cannot Purge.
may be text are used in title blocks or any another inside blocks
Try QSELECT

CTRL + All > Comment QSELECT > in Object type select MText > Below Operator Select All > Ok .

you can see the text are selected then deleted it.

May be text are in some blocks
