Deleting unused class w/o Force.com IDE or any other JAVA based tool

Hello: I need to delete some unused classes from production since it's preventing to deploy my new trigger. But when I googled, I see tons of steps involving force.com IDE. I am not familiar with JAVA at all, C# person. Still tried to download eclipse etc. but installation errored out saying i need java environment or somehting. So I have two questions:

1. Is it possible to delete the prod classes using some cloud based tools or anything on my sandbox? I saw in one place to delete the classes from the sandbox and deply the class directory.. but i don't see any option to include the directory in the outbound change set.. force.com ide allows the directory access only looks like

2. If force.com ide is my only way then I am clue less how many layer of things i have to install to have that up and in what sequence.. please advise.. I got 64 bit win 7 professional OS on my machine.

Looking forward to some directions for the expereinced developers. Thank you very much in advance
