Yes I finally figure it out... the problem was that I have created shortcuts referencing this classes (before deleting the classes)... and in the KMRepository there were references to the class inside a block, it took me a while to realise that the reference was inside the block because you can't inspect a block and see the code.
I had to reset the KMRepository (close my workspace window, because I have references to the old shortcuts) and that's it. Searching for strong pointers was a great advice to see who was using these classes.
