Rvm: Can't remove ruby, want to reinstall particular version because cannot run, test app, errors

[siwka]

I can't remove ruby, reinstall ruby, start or test specific rails project using ruby 2.1.0.
How to remove & install new ruby?

Error's Examples:
1.

$ rails s
/Users/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.0/bin/rails:23:in `load': cannot load such file -- /Users/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.0/gems/railties-4.1.1/bin/rails (LoadError)

    from /Users/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.0/bin/ruby_executable_hooks:15:in `<main>'

2.

Removing nokogiri would affect other gems

Other attempts to fix:
Unknown ruby string (do not know how to handle): ruby-2.1.0.

Fixed: I completely clean out all traces of RVM from my system (https://rvm.io/support/troubleshooting), rebuilt environment for each project.
Works!

the 1st error can be caused by installation of gems broken in half,
the 2nd error is caused by using sudo/rvmsudo/root with gems, use rvm fix-permissions to fix it
as for the last error Unknown ruby string (do not know how to handle): ruby-2.1.0. - this could be possibly fixed, but without seeing what caused it I can not be sure.
