What _is_ confusing is that there are so many out of date tutorials and mailing list archive entries that are found when searching for data on rails. This is inevitable unfortunately if you want to experiment with fast moving technologies like Rails. All the ones you mention have been little changed for decades so the documentation is stable. > > Is there a way to just go into the file system, and delete all the > directories for Rails and just do a fresh reinstall.

Having multiple versions of things is not an issue provided you have the versions you need and they are specified in your app. It will then use those versions. Looking back at the OP I see that you are trying to get an existing app running. Why not just concentrate on that and sort out the problems as you come to them?
