Nick;
I suspect that you are talking about the print border levels, as defined int ehparameters for the print preparation ? From a basic seed file, these levels are generally not there, untill you run the print preparation tool, and insert the graphics into a drawing. Since the levels were not there, whne inserting the graphics, the levels were created. If yo no longer have graphics ion those levels, you can just remove them from the file using the level manager.

I get the same thing when I use MicroStation V8i.
Please have a look at a post I made in the MicroStation V8i forum;

I can't remove the levels.

Hi Jerry,
The configuration variable is Undefined at the moment. What do I need to set the variable to and do I need to set it in both MS V8i and also MSBM V8i?
From the docs
MS_LEVEL_ALLOW_LIBRARY_LEVEL_EDIT "Edit Unused Library Levels" Allows you to edit library levels when it is not yet used in master-file. If not set, then a library level can be edited only when if it is used. If set then a library level that is not yet copied into the master-file can be edited. On editing, the library level will be copied into the master-file.
The additional levels seem to be coming from a PrintPreparation.dgnlib file.
I renamed the PrintPreparation.dgnlib and when I restarted MSBM V8i and MS V8i the additional levels no longer show.
What is this PrintPreparation.dgnlib for? Why is it activated? What configuration actually sets this up in MicroStation?
Thanks,
The PrintPreparation dgnlib is used by the PrintPreparation tool that comes with Microstation ( and is extended, somewhat by Bentley Map). This uses a seriues of DGNLIBs to store the definitions of print sheet models, north arrows, scales, text styles, levels, and sheet border cells for generating print sets.
