How to start over with a clean gems install for jekyll?
I've been working on a blog using Jekyll so I installed Ruby with this command from the Jekyll doc:
sudo apt-get install ruby ruby-dev build-essential
Then I installed the gems directory to my home folder. I tried out a lot of different themes and just run bundle install when my terminal said I was missing any dependencies. Now I have a lot of packages installed inside the gems folder. Is there a way for me remove unnecessary gems and start over without uninstall gems?

Simply delete them from file explorer or with arm -rf ~/path/to/gems/*. If you're starting to develop with ruby, you definitely have to look at rbenv which allows you to easily run any ruby version you want.

Can you post the full backtrace errors you got? But also see answer I've posted.

It is highly recommend to not use system ruby but use a ruby version manager. One reason is that you won't have to use sudo before your gem commands.
If you want to remove all your current gems you should be able to just do
gem uninstall --all
But you might need to prepend it with sudo gem uninstall --all
If you intend to do any longer term work / multiple projects with ruby, I recommend using RVM. You can find detailed install instructions here
Some prefer rbenv however it's install instructions seem to be focused on MacOS, so if you're on linux, I dunno.
