Best way is    destroy rake db   rake db rollback   For Scaffold        rails destroy scaffold Name of script

User · Answer

Yes  the scaffold itself and all the things that amalgamate it   The destroy command is the opposite of generate and will undo one  Just pass it the name the same way did with generate and it ll be scrubbed from your project   rails generate scaffold posts title string content text rails destroy scaffold posts title string content text

If you just want to see the files a generator will create you can pass the generator --pretend or -p option

you need to roll back migrations too after destroying scaffold too  rails destroy scaffold  scaffoldname  rake db rollback

Case 1  If you run only this command to generate scaffold -  rails generate scaffold MODEL NAME FIELD NAME DATATYPE  Ex - rails generate scaffold User name string address text   but till now you did not run any command for migration like   rake db migrate   then you should need to run only this command like -  rails destroy scaffold User name string address text   Case 2  If you already run Scaffold and Migration  by below commands like -  rails generate scaffold User name string address text  rake db migrate    Then you should need to run first rollback migration command then destroy scaffold like below -  rake db rollback  rails destroy scaffold User name string address text   So In this manner  we can undo scaffolding  Also we can use d for destroy and g for generate as a shortcut
