Transient elements/Shared Cells will not delete (from inraods survey import)

We have a re-occuring issue where elements from inroads survey import show up on prints, even after deleting.

I Created a dummy DGN, erased everything, compressed file, and those survey features are still hidden in the file, not graphically, but internally.

You can see them as used levels, as well as in the level usage properties....
