What is the best way to drop a table & remove a model in Rails 3?

Question

I have a model & a table which I no longer need in my App, I could leave them there but I would like to remove them to keep things tidy.

I\'m trying to figure out

Answer 1

I know this is an old thread. More often than not, you want to remove not only the model, but routes, controller and views associated with that model as well. To do that, run these

rails g migration DropYourModel
rails destroy scaffold YourModelName

Edit your migration file to drop_table and then run

rake db:migrate

If the model happens to be defined in a namespace, e.g., admins, replace the first command with

rails destroy scaffold admins/YourModelName
