If I understand correctly, I can still use INSERT to recover a block deleted months ago so long as I haven't purged it, yes?

"Recover" is not the word I would use.  You can INSERT another one [or, in official terms, create another reference  to that Block definition].  PURGE does not get rid of Block references, but only gets rid of Block definitions  for which there are currently no references  in the drawing, that is, unused  definitions.  If there are any other [Insertions of]/[references to] that Block definition in the drawing, any [Insertion of]/[reference to] it can be removed with ERASE or the Delete key, and you can't recover that except in the limited circumstances in my previous Reply.  But PURGE will not let you get rid of the definition unless all  have been so removed.

 

In other words, in your phrase "I haven't purged it," it sounds like by "it" you're thinking of an Insertion  of the Block, rather than its definition, but PURGE is about only the latter, never the former.
