I am wondering when an instance of a class is garbage collected and deleted from the system.

is there a way to manually deleted it ?

If there is no Object that reference your object you can force a Garbage collect with "Smalltalk garbageCollect". If your object is still here you can try to see what point to it with "(X allInstances collectAsSet: #pointersTo) inspect". When the reference is spotted you can try to remove it then garbage collect again. -- Cyril Ferlicot http://www.synectique.eu 165 Avenue Bretagne Lille 59000 France
