I recently had a database issue so I decided to nuke it since I had no important data. I deleted my migrations folder in my app directory and dropped the database. However now when I go to recreate everything with manage.py migrate
I get the following error:
File "../manage.py", line 21, in <module>

django.db.migrations.exceptions.MigrationSchemaMissing: Unable to create the django_migrations table ((1050, "Table 'django_migrations' already exists"))
I have tried running this after deleting the database, and after recreating the empty database. I can be 100% sure there are no tables there right now. So I have no idea why it thinks that table is there.
