Question

I have a problem with with acts_as_paranoid objects. Now i want to really destroy the object but i cant find an easy way.

I dont like to use hard coded SQL for this problem.

Somebody knows a quick nice solution?

UPDATE

I came up with the following solution. I dont like this that much but it works….

# Use this function wisely
def really_destroy
  ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute("DELETE FROM user_widgets WHERE id = #{self.id}")
end

Answer 1

Add a bang to the destroy method.

def really_destroy
  self.destroy!
end
