What all you need to do is:
1. Install Force.com IDE on your local machine.
https://developer.salesforce.com/page/Force.com_IDE_Installation

2. Once installation is completed, you need to create a new project using File -> New -> Force.com project.
3. You need to provide your production username, password and security token.
4. Click on finish.
5. Now in the eclipse sidebar, you can see all teh production classes, pages, triggers, components and static resources.
6. Select desired class to be deleted and hit the delete button.

Create your project in eclipse. Select teh class from left navigation bar and right click, and then delete.

What is the project exactly? How do i save to the server? Do i need to log into the sandbox or into the production.

Thanks for your help

Thank you, i am now deleting the classes. I have created the project by logging into my production org, not the sandbox. Is this correct?

Thanks
