I get an error while working on my rails console

I am at the part in the tutorials where I am syncing my statuses with my name. I am on the last video for the section and it says to delete the old statuses in my console. Each time I attempt to do this I get this error 

1.9.3-p392 :004 > status.delete_all
NameError: undefined local variable or method `status' for main:Object
    from (irb):4
    from /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p392/gems/railties-3.2.12/lib/rails/commands/console.rb:47:in `start'
    from /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p392/gems/railties-3.2.12/lib/rails/commands/console.rb:8:in `start'
    from /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p392/gems/railties-3.2.12/lib/rails/commands.rb:41:in `<top (required)>'
    from script/rails:6:in `require'
    from script/rails:6:in `<main>'
1.9.3-p392 :005 >

Any Ideas on what I can do about this? thank you!

Your 's' needs to be capitalized to 'S'. I think that's it.

Pretty sure he is talking about Status
