Question

I was making a web app using Django. I was using Django 3.0.7 for the sake. Then I upgraded to Django 3.1.1. When I reinstalled Django 3.0.7 I am unable to open Django Admin. While I try to get into my Django admin an error shows up saying:

Error at /admin/
Incorrect padding
Exception Location: ...\python\python38\lib\base64.py in b64decode, line 87

So do I need to run ```python manage.py collectstatic``` or ```python manage.py collectstatic --clear```..? — Deepjyoti De, Dec 28 '20 at 18:01
It's not working in Chrome but working in Edge. probably due to caching. — Deepjyoti De, Dec 28 '20 at 18:21

I solved this problem in Chrome by deleting any cookies relating to my Django development server port.
