Purge unreferenced images in AutoCAD with AutoLISP

Here is some AutoLISP code that can be used to purge unreferenced images from a drawing and delete and detach all images that are not found.

It is prepared to be used together with SmartPurger so multiple drawings can be processed.

An unreferenced image is attached to the drawing but have been erased. A Not Found image is no longer existing in the valid search paths. An Unresolved image cannot be read by AutoCAD.
