SailsJS: Undo API Generation & Clean, Safe Remove for API

Question

I'm looking to remove/delete an API I generated using sails generate api

I had run sails generate api user and went onto implementing the sails-generate-auth plugin (tried sails-auth too), and the library said it something already exists in my /models directory. I deleted user from models, ran the plugin's command again, and it gave the same message for my /services directory -- but there are no files in that directory (except for .gitkeep)!

I would like to run a sails command, something like sails remove api user, to repeal anything configured for this endpoint -- and essentially start over (this time using sails-generate-auth).

How can I repeal an "api"?

Answer 1

There is no command for deleting an API. You can remove your API by deleting your controller + model of the API.

When you run the command sails-generate-auth it automaticly creates a new User API.It returns an error whenever you need to delete anything else so you'll need to delete the files that it requested and the files that it just created...
