The question is a bit stale now, but I just did:

rails destroy scaffold  -p

The -p flag shows "pretend" output, which is good for seeing what will happen. Remove the '-p' flag and the results will match the output. This cleaned the entire collection of M-V-C files + testing + js files + the original migration, no problem.

I guess if you are one who likes to hand edit your migrations and include multiple steps in each, losing the original migration could break db:setup, so buyer beware. Keeping one action == one migration file should avoid this potential snafu.
