How can you have an instance of a class X if the class X doesn't "exist"
anymore? The whole point here is that an object's class is also a
strong reference to the class, and generally it's skipped by object
reference finders. The way you find those is by sending allInstances
(or equivalent) to the class.

"Smalltalk fixObsoleteReferences" didn't completely work for me when i
had that problem, i had to find out where those references were.
I think looking for strong pointers of the ObsoleteClass would be a good
start.

Maybe they have instances. GC can't remove a class under its instances.

Hi, I'm trying to fix this, I have Obsolete classes in the
system and I
want to remove them, as long as I understood this is because this
classes are gone and in some point someone is referencing them.
I do an extended search an get nothing, but still the obsolete
classes
are there... I don't find no one with references to it but if I run:
SystemNavigation new obsoleteClassesselect: [ :each | each
isAnonymous
not ]
I get the problem classes.
I found this thread about a similar issue but don't know how to
solve
