For some reason, after adding one line:
config.paperclip_defaults = {:path =>"newApp/assets"}
to my config/application.rb file, now I can't edit any file on this Cloud9 folder. When I tried to delete it, Cloud9 says:
Failed to delete folder 'newApp'.

Somehow the execute permissions are removed from the app directories. I do not know how that could be related to your config change. Fix it by executing
sudo chmod -R 755 ~/workspace/myApp in the terminal.
