How to purge non-existent library objects?

I have a project where I used the Cadimage cabinets briefly. I ultimately deleted all of the cabinets, and uninstalled the Cadimage add-on, and then deleted the Cabinet library. However, now, whenever I start the program, I get notified of 20 missing Cadimage cabinet objects, even though these were all deleted. (Find and Select doesn't pick them up, either.) Any idea of what's going on and how to get rid of the error message?

Did you check the Embedded Library?

Yes, but I'm not sure why that would be relevant. There are no Cadimage cabinet libraries, and there are no Cadimage cabinets in the project. These are phantom missing objects.

I don't know how CI works but it may be that it saves each cabinet option that you created as an object in the Embedded Lib same as using "Custom Stair" but since you indicate that they are not there you can check Favorites to see if they are hiding there.

Richard,

When you open the file, do you get the Cadimage dialog box about Cadimage data in the file? If so, have you untucked the boxes to discard the information?

just making a guess.

No, I don't get that dialog box. (I know which one you mean, though. I get it on many projects.) I'm stumped.

Do a "New and Reset"?

On an existing large project? It's not an issue for a new plan.

Running out of options here since it does not make sense.
Any modules that need updating? or
Update placed drawings and schedules?

We has some Cadimage 'residue' for a while after one user tried it out. I think there was a single node-like dot in the Schedules area of the view map that we deleted. You may have more similar items.
