Calling destory on HABTM clear

Rails
1

I know this is probably stupidly simple, but I can’t seem to figure it
out.

I have a many-to-many association using HABTM. Im trying to clear all
the stuff in the join table and call destroy on all the joined items.

For example if I have a many to many for albums and photos,

def method
album=Album.find(4)
album.photos.clear

NOW HOW DO I DESTROY ALL THOSE PHOTOS?

end

The things I thought would work didn’t.

Any ideas.

Thanks in advance. Aryk

how about album.photos{|photo| photo.destroy} ? I’m not sure if that
removes
the correct relationships though. You still might need that
album.photos.clear.
