To hunt it down:
ThatClass allInstances inspect gives you an Array with all instances.
I forgot why I stopped using PointerFinder.
To get rid of it:
Open up an Inspector on every Object that references your obsolete
Object. There you set that reference (Ivar) to nil.
The you close all of the inspectors.
After that:
Smalltalk garbageCollect then Smalltalk forgetDoits.
The Swiki has some articles on this, one being "cleanig up junk".
