Even after you delete a part, VA Smalltalk might display a message indicating that instances of the part still exist.
If you get this message, do the following to delete all instances of the part:
1. Go to the System Transcript window. (In the Organizer window, select System Transcript from the Window menu.)
2. Type the following Smalltalk code into the System Transcript's text pane, supplying the part's name for <part name>:
<part name> allInstances do: [ : ea |
ea become: nil ]
3. Highlight the code then from the Edit menu, select Execute.
The code, when executed, sets all instances of the part to nil. After executing the code, delete the part.
