Ideas to help located imported CAD

I know importing CAD into Revit is one of the deadly sins but it's already done...

 

I circled in red the imported DWG files I would like to remove from the model... problem is I don't know where they are. I tried purging unused and they are still there. In a 3D view, I tried selecting everything and using a filter to select them but couldn't find... I definitely don't need them, and I am hoping to make this model cleaner by removing them.

 

I'm thinking there is some font, fill patterns, and maybe line styles from the DWG files, but hunting all this down manually 1 by one 1 seems like a lot of work (which isn't in the budget :C )

 

Any Ideas? I'm open to dynamo

Hi,

 

Have you tried hiding the elements and then looking or removing the imported categories all together ?

By removing the imported category, do you mean by selecting it in a view? I did, the issue is I can't find them. Or are you saying there is a way to delete the imported category by selecting in the imported categories window?
