Yes.  Delete, what is likely the "open box", zClass product in the Products
folder.

Yes again.  This is where a valid zClass should appear, so we might be
talking something other than a zClass.  Maybe a sub-class??  or you have a
mangled zClass.

If you have many then you need to write a script.  Otherwise just delete
them like you would anything in the ZMI.
Actually I havent had to do major clean-ups yet in Zope.
But my guess is you need to use TransparentFolders to look into all your
sub-folders from the root, to locate all the instances of your zClass by
searching for the meta-type.  something like
productValues('zclass-meta-type-name-here')
You will have to delete programmatically.
OR use the FIND tab.

I dont think it matters, but I would delete the instances before your delete
the zClass.
