Deleting Methods from Parent Class

Hello,

 

In advanced, thank you for any advice that can be offered for this basic question.

 

Problem:

I am having issues deleting custom methods and classes, that I have created using SE24 or SE80.  I am working on a development machine, so these classes may be safely deleted.  Basically, I am developing a solution for a customer and during the development stage I wanted to make sure things were working the way I expected.  So, I created many classes, inheritance methods, etc.  But now, I want to go back through and clean up my mess.  In JAVA, C#, C++, or any other language I simply find those objects and delete them and then go back through and clean up.  However, in SAP I find that the transport organizer gets in the way.  Is there a way to flush the memory of the transport organizer, so that I can activate my classes and not get bogged down in non-sense error messages?  If I try to activate the objects, while marking the methods to be deleted, then the system typically "times-out" after a long period of 15 minutes.  I would think that SAP could delete a method in under 15 minutes.....

 

Attempted so far:

1) I have tried to use all the options in Utilities-->Clean Up.

2) I have tried to release those dependent transports using SE09, but SAP tells me that some "CM00# is inactive", I think this is telling me that the methods I deleted are inactive (no kidding, I deleted them).

3) I have tried to manually add the methods back, then activate, transport, and finally delete, but I still get the same "loop dependency" problem. 

 

I have found many related issues on SCN, but never a answer.  Is this the price we pay for trying to conform ABAP to a OO language?

 

Thank you,

Greg
