RE: HOW TO DELETE A LAYER
The easiest way to get around that, is turn off every layer except the one you want to delete. Then ERASE ALL. Everything on that layer is now definitly deleted, and purge should then work.

The express menu should be part fo the standard AK2i packaage. If the menu express is not listed at the top of your screen this is how you load it. Under the tools menu select customize menu > select the menu groups tab at the top of the dialog box, select browse, locate where acad is installed, should be under program files/autocad2000i, navigate from there to the express folder and double click the folder. Next select the file *.mns file(not sure of the prefix but, should be the only .mns file). Open the file, which should bring you back to the dialog box, now select load then close the dialog. The express menu should now be available. I am using A2K but should be the same for A2Ki.

Another idea is to make sure that you haven't defined a block using the layer you're trying to delete. If you have, you'll have to redefine the block, changing any of its objects on said layer to another layer. Or, if you're not actually using such a block definition, then you can purge it from the drawing. The layer should then be purgeable as well.
As a test, you can WBLOCK the drawing to another name and see if that gets rid of the layer. If it doesn't, then you probably have an object, even a block as described above still using that layer.
