It is not possible to directly delete an Apex class or trigger after it has been deployed to production. A quick workaround to delete or disable Apex Class\/Trigger is by using eclipse and Force.com IDE.<\/p>\n

Here are the steps \u2013<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Download Force.com IDE.<\/li>\n
  2. Connect to the salesforce production org.<\/li>\n
  3. Download the apex class\/trigger.<\/li>\n
  4. Open the XML file of the Apex class\/trigger.<\/li>\n
  5. Change the status of the Apex class\/trigger to Deleted.<\/li>\n
  6. Save and deploy to server.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Note \u2013 Apex class status can only be changed to \u201cActive\u201d or \u201cDeleted\u201d and not \u201cInactive\u201d.\"Trigger\"<\/a>
