Remove app (and associated database tables) in Django 1.7

Question

Is it possible to use Django 1.7 migrations to completely remove/uninstall an app and all its traces (mainly, all its database tables)?

If not, what is the appropriate way of doing this in Django 1.7?

Thanks, working perfect! Weird I couldn't find this in the official documentation. – Christoffer Karlsson Aug 08 '15 at 10:25
Docs for migrationname "zero": https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/ref/django-admin/#migrate – guettli Mar 02 '16 at 13:31
That worked in django 3.1 in case any body is wondering – sage poudel Aug 28 '20 at 12:52
This does not work if you've messed up some stuff and really want to clear the tables of an app and start from zero. – Alper Jan 26 '21 at 12:06
