How are you trying to delete the class? If you are simply selecting it from the production project and deleting, that will fail.

You need to delete the class from a sandbox and then deploy the classes folder to production - this will work out that the class has been deleted.

The only way to delete Apex Class from prod is using eclipse IDE.As you are getting an error in doing so ,you can workaroud it by creating another class with same name in Sandbox with blank body i.e. you should not be doing anything in it.

 

Then,you can deploy the same to your prod which would override the existing classes.
