Great video, this helped!
The extra tip I have here is when you want to delete a class in PRD you will have to run tests. Sometimes running all tests won't work as in bigger orgs due to tech debt, not all test classes pass. Instead of fixing all test classes, I noticed that just running a single specific test class unrelated to the class I defined in the XML for deletion, will work!

Thank you! Very helpful!!

I've been struggling to delete classes for MONTHS! I did run into separate issues in trying to do this (partly because of Mac, partly because of tests failing) but this video was hugely helpful. Thank you!

Great job. Are the instructions the same for MacOS?

[@spencerb9539]

Will this work for an Apex Class within an installed Package? I received errors when trying to uninstall a package so I am trying to remove the referenced Apex Classes.

[@ivanperez8335]

Hi. I'm trying but I have an error message. This apex class is referenced elsewhere in salesforce.com. Remove the usage and try again. : Visualforce Page - XXXXX. I'm new on this, how can I remove the usage of this VFpage? can you help me please?

[@Walters954]

This means the code you are trying to delete is being used by something else. You'll need to remove the reference to the class to be able to delete it.

[@lamar9648]

I have followed the exact steps and this is not working for me.

[@Walters954]

Hmm I may need to revisit this to make sure it's still working. I'd double check that you are selecting both files and zipping them.

[@lamar9648]

@@Walters954 Yes, both are being selected.

[@ajaysharma-xo3nr]

same issue with me, @walters954 is this solution still working?

[@andriimuzychuk711]
