Does this cover your question? Uninstall Rails completely

It is possible that you have multiple versions of Rails installed in your system. Thus, that command might have failed by not deciding which Rails version you intended to remove.

Check your Rails versions by running gem list -d rails or gem list | grep rails and note the versions (Example, I have 3.2.8, 3.2.5, 4.0.0).

To uninstall any version use:

gem uninstall rails -v 3.2.8
