Hi,  
I created a scaffolding using the “generate” script for a table, lets  
call it “foo”, in MySql database. I have now modified the database by  
adding new tables and deleting the table “foo”. How do I now delete  
the scaffolding against this table in the rails framework? I don’t  
want to manually go into app/ directory and delete the “foo” model,  
view, controller in case there is some residue left behind. Is there a  
better way of solving this problem.  
Thanks for your help in advance,  
Swati
