Remove column from postgresql via rails

Question

I use this command to create an avatar column in my postgresql database.

rails g migration add_avatar_to_users avatar:string
rake db:migrate

I have an image column i would like to get rid of in the same database. I don't know the command to do so. I dont need the data and that column anymore.

I tried

rails destroy migration add_image_to_users image:string
rake db:migrate

But it did not fix the problem =/

rails g migration remove_image_from_users

That will generate a new migration, and then inside the change method you can write:

remove_column :users, :image
