When I remove a Django app from my list of INSTALLED_APPS, it doesn’t get rid of the old database tables; running ./manage.py makemigrations doesn’t detect any changes.
Apart from going into the database myself and dropping the old tables, is there a better way to clean up unused tables after uninstalling an app from my Django project?
>Solution :
You can use migrate command by specifying a zero for this purpose.
Example-
$ python manage.py migrate appName zero
This will safely revert the database tables.
After running the zero migration, you may remove the app from INSTALLED_APPS
