why django can not create a table after deleting the table and the migration files of the app?

Question

I am working with Django v4.* which I connected it to Postgres DB on the localhost, I have created my model (Article) then makemigrations then migrate then I have changed the model by adding extra field, as a result it didn't take effect so I have deleted the table and all the migrations files in articles/migrations folder apart of the __init__.py file, then I did makemigrations then migrate it create a new file 0001_initial.py but its not creating a new table into the DB, unless I drop the whole DB, which is not ideal in the production env! I am wondering why Django is unable to create the table back again? and how I can get it created as a new table?

Answer 1

Roll back to your initial migration by running below command:

python manage.py migrate --fake <appname> 0001

Followed by:

python manage.py migrate <appname>

Answer 2

Just delete your database with

python manage.py flush

And delete migrations files

You may have mistyped the directory in the terminal
