There are many ways
to delete objects from your drawing and clean up the display.
Remove Unused Definitions,
Styles, and Objects
You
can remove unused named and unnamed objects with PURGE. Some of the unnamed
objects you can purge include block definitions, dimension styles, layers,
linetypes, and text styles. With PURGE you can also
remove zero-length geometry and empty text objects.
Clean Up the Display
You
can remove the plus-shaped markers called blips and stray pixels
that may be left over from some editing operations from the display
area.
- To remove blips, use REDRAW.

method to select the objects to be erased or enter an option:

to erase the last selection set.

all objects from the drawing.
- Enter ? to see a list
of all selection methods.

To restore the last erased
object

The last objects that were removed by ERASE,
BLOCK, or WBLOCK are restored.
