Hmm, this proved to be ineffective. Apart from the fact that Instruments shows me the spinning beachball of woe for many seconds when searching for an object address, the address of the core data object that was removed only appears once in the list, as far as I can tell. Does it matter that I'm using ARC? I know there are a number of places where strong references are held to the object being removed, and I'm trying to ensure I 'release' them all. Is there a programmatic way to inspect the runtime to see what's referencing objects? Or do you have some clues how I can better use Instruments? Thanks for your thoughts!
