Removing an External Reference

[jameslovell4716]

I can't seem to remove an External Referance from my File Reference list.

I have deleted the drawing, and no longer wish for this to appear in the list.

I have tried to dettach, remove the path, and to unload it. But it still appears.

I am hoping to use this drawing as a template and want all this unwanted junk to not show up.

I have renamed the file to "delete" below.

Thanks in advance, James

When you try to detach, look at the command line.
Do you get a message that says "Unable to detach multiple references."?

open each xref file and detach from there if any xref than from main file you can detach the xref files

What if the option doesn't appear and the object is no longer on the drawing ?
