Revit Purging Files Without User Approval

[r.copland]

Hi

I have an ongoing issue with Revit Lt purging files without me asking for this. I opened a file from about 6 weeks ago and all unused components such as walls, floors etc were no longer available. How do I change this? Can't find a setting...

Revit doesn't Purge on its own. There must have been some action on your part leading up to Revit Purging. Can you list the steps?

BTW: How do you know the elements got purged?  "Purge Unused" is a distinctive operation in Revit.

Are you the only one working on the file?

Have you been performing audit when opening the projects files and clicking "delete" for corrupted families?

Hi thanks for your reply - literally I just opened the file, made a few minor design changes-moving walls, went to insert a different door style and all unused components were missing...

Tried to change a door style component and all unused components gone I never purge my files...

"all unused components"?  What do you mean by "components"?

It's in the first post:

"all unused components such as walls, floors etc"
