why not just do
MyClass allInstances do:[:i | i := nil]. Smalltalk unusedMemory.
(Cannot recall if unusedMemory triggers a GC in Squeak, or even exists). Anyways, the first should nil all of your instances and then get them gc'ed.

Huh...I've tried that too. I've closed all my Workspaces, set all instances to nil, and garbageCollectMost'ed...
Persistent little buggers...

Finally found the PointerFinder tool. Looks like my Aida site might have a cache that is holding on to some objects. Time to ask the Aida experts!
Thanks for the help,
Rob

garbageCollectMost only collects, as the name implies, most garbage, not all. For a full GC use garbageCollect.

You can also use trick like
each become: String new
to swap references to empty object that will be garbaged.

This should be used only as a last resort. It doesn't actually remove the references that are not garbage-collected, just replaces them with other objects.
A recipe for finding references is here:

SmalltalkImage current fixObsoleteReferences And then chase pointers or explore pointers in the inspector if needed.

This is nonsense. i is a temporary variable, setting it to nil does nothing to the original references.
In this case, your sig's appropriateness approaches those of Tim ;)
