Delete all in rails console

Question

i have an association for a user as `user has_many agents` and `agent belongs_to user`. in rails console,i am trying to use different users to test a particular scenario and i want a user with no agents,hence i want to delete the `user.agents`. i tried `user.agents.map(&:destroy)`,but it gives error as `ActiveRecord::StaleObjectError: Attempted to delete a stale object`.i even tried `user.agents.delete_all` but it too does not work.can i delete the users agents with a single command in rails console.

Accepted Answer

You better use `destroy` because it goes through all the Rails magic (callbacks and such)

```
user.destroy #For a single record
user.agents.destroy_all #For a collection
```
