You didn't read the error message closely:

The operator class is gone, but the operator family that contained it
still exists. CREATE OPERATOR CLASS will create a containing family
if you don't specify one, but DROP OPERATOR CLASS won't automatically
remove such a family. (If it did, it might destroy other operator
classes that had been added to that family later.)
Probably the easiest answer is to use DROP OPERATOR FAMILY instead.
