I am trying to completely remove my Ruby and Rails installation.
After uninstalling Ruby with apt-get remove ruby1.9.1 I see that all the Ruby stuff like ruby, rake and irb from "/usr/bin" was removed but the gems remain here:
/var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems
What's the best way to remove these? Again, I want to uninstall everything so I can try this install again.
rm -r /var/lib/gems/ ???

After arm wrestling with this for most of the day, I uninstalled everything, installed RVM and then installed Ruby and Rails with RVM. Much, much better.
