How to delete this file?
calling destroy on the file should delete it –
@mymodel.myfile.destroy– although you would be MUCH better advised to use Amazon S3 to host your assets. Anything you upload into your app n Heroku that lives in tmp, public etc will not exist across dynos, or persist across restarts unless you’re using an external storage host like Amazon S3 etc.http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/read-only-filesystem talks about it in detail.
