As soon as a bundle accesses resources of another bundle these classes are instantiated. A bundle that is uninstalled can only be completely purged once the last class of that bundle is garbage collected.
Refreshing the bundles that used the uninstalled bundle normally fix this but you also need to make sure the other bundles are cleaning up correctly. So for example if a bundle starts a thread at some point and this thread is not stopped on shutdown of the bundle then all classes used in the thread will not be cleaned up. So if the thread uses classes of the now uninstalled bundle they will remain loaded. This also prevents the classloader of the uninstalled bundle to be garbage collected.
