it was not showing any type of error and not pruge dwg's as the file size remain same and nested item remain same which i want to purge

getdir is a Doslib function not included in AutoCAD lisp. That lisp will only work if you have Doslib installed.

This file is a different one to the one you first posted....

 

If you want to do a batch purge on your drawings you might also look at Scriptpro or Lee Macs Scriptwriter, once you have learnt to use them they are more versatile than a single LISP to do a specific batch process - can do a lot more with them and so worth spending the time to learn them.
