Superpurge for ACAD LT on Mac?

Is there a super purge plug in for Autocad LT on Mac yet? I have some pesky text styles that just won't go away. I even tested deleting all the linework/text/etc, and the text styles are still unpurgeable. Help!

Mac aside, there are no plug-ins or add-ons for LT period.
If it's a one-off thing, post the drawing and maybe someone can help clean it.

Thaw, unlock and turn on all the layers in your file.
in MODEL space only, zoom out to see "everything", start WBLOCK command and window everything you want to keep. A prompt will appear to ask you to create a new file.

Everything in this new file is content in use by the objects you selected. If you still need to purge items you'll need a friend with Windows, full AutoCAD and that 3rd party app to do more.

Hi @trenaD9DJE

 

If you are still having difficulties with your file you can post it here in the thread and I would be happy to take a look at it. 

 

These pesky text styles did you work on these files in the windows environment? did someone send you these files?

I eventually was able to purge out all of the bad styles. For a couple of my drawings, I had found hundreds of hidden blocks. You can't access them or click on them in any way (the only way I knew they existed was in the RENAME window), so I just selected-all and transferred my linework/paperspaces to another clean sheet. The mysterious blocks (and pesky styles) did not follow.
