Use the eraseout command. Pick the window around the stuff you want to keep and press enter.
If that doesnt work go to the Carlson file menu and go to drawing cleanup. Pick the erase blank hatches and text entities. Look everything over in those options before proceeding and then click ok.?ÿ
Then let me know if I won the guessing game!
I'm thinking maybe you need to clean the snot spots off your monitor.
One thing you maybe haven't tried is AUDITing your drawing for errors.?ÿ ?ÿ?ÿ
If the audit doesn't cure it and you are at the end of the road with the problem the cure may be to wblock the entities you can select (from both model space and paper space of course) and bring them all into a clean drawing.?ÿ I had a file with ghost entities before and this solved the problem.?ÿ
You cannot purge a block that exists in the drawing.?ÿ ?ÿTry redefining your old title block to a line of circle or random element.?ÿ Type block and find your tblock in the pulldown recreate it but select a random line of circle for the definition.?ÿ Once done this may allow you to delete the offending block and purge it.

"ghost dots"
Could they be nodes
If so make sure that you have then selected on your ONSNAP settings
Get a nice clean, slightly moist cotton cloth and wipe your entire screen until it is clean.
Have you tried putting a piece of black electrical tape over the ghost dots? It ain't pretty but I'm all about real world solutions.
Are you talking about nodes?
Maybe try this?
Command: Erase
Command: All
then ??deselect? the stuff you don??t want to erase
Can you explode the offending dots/nodes and then delete them?
If the block you erased from the drawing is still defined in the drawing... try the PURGE command to jettison the offending block definition to rid yourself of the annoyance.
Good luck.
I sent my Template DWG to Carlson and this was their response.
"There were zero-sized text entities in the drawing".
Georgia IDIOT, I made that up.
