[Newbies] Removing 'dead' instances

Could some kind soul please explain what I am doing wrong here?

I have a model, called Fspace, which I have created several instances of,
whilst I was testing it.

Fspace allInstances size reports 9 instances.

When I run

Fspace allInstancesDo:
   [:each |
   each := nil.
Transcript show: (each value); cr.
   Smalltalk garbageCollect]

The transcript shows that the values are set to nil. However, the instances
don't go away.  So, what am I doing wrong?

Cheers
AB
