I already know how to explode the "AcDbZombieEntity"("ACAD_PROXY_ENTITY")  when the drawing is activated.

Here is the code.

(defun AEC-explode (/ adoc ss)
 (setq ss (ssget "X" '((0 . "ACAD_PROXY_ENTITY"))))
 (if ss
 (progn
 (setq adoc (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object)))
 (SSSETFIRST nil ss)
 (vla-sendcommand adoc "Explode\r")
 (vla-sendcommand adoc "Explode p \r")
 )
 )
)

I want to do this without open the drawing.And I have know how to find "AcDbZombieEntity",but I don't know how to explode.

Here is the code.

(defun c:tt( / )
	(setq dbx (Vlax-Get-Or-Create-Object "ObjectDBX.AxDbDocument.18" ))
	(setq path "C:/")
	(foreach file (vl-directory-files path "*.dwg" 1)
		(Vlax-Invoke-Method dbx 'Open (strcat path file) )
		(vlax-for ob (Vlax-Get dbx 'ModelSpace)
			(cond
				((= "AcDbZombieEntity" (Vlax-Get ob 'ObjectName ))
					    (vla-Explode ob);;;;;;How to explode,this code is wrong.
				)
			)
		)
		(Vlax-Invoke-Method dbx 'SaveAs (strcat path file))
	)
	(vlax-release-object dbx)
)

vla-explode does not apply to AcDbZombieEntity, according to your first message, you should try vla-Delete (wrapping it in a (vl-catch-all-apply ...) expression.

Anyway, typically AcDbZombieEntity objects come with non graphical AcDbZombieObject (as you can see with FINDZOMBIES or KILLZOMBIES commands). Most often, these objects are dictionary entries.
