Remove an app from django project

Hiding the links to the app (base.html, etc), removing it from project's urls.py file.

When you navigate in the page - you should not get any errors.

Luckily my app did not have dependencies to other apps at this time. So it's quite simple.

• comment out models.py file content of the app
• comment out admin.py file content of the app

Now you should be able to run the app just fine as well, visit the /admin page results in no errors.

Run makemigrations

A migration file will appear in that apps's directory.

Run migrate

Then changes should be applied. In our case - deletion of the tables in our db should be performed.

Commit those changes.

Pull the most recent repo changes, run migrate (since the newest deletion migrations file should be there).

Confirm that the tables were deleted:

python manage.py shell --settings=settings.production

from django.db import connection
tables = connection.introspection.table_names()
print(sorted(tables))

Tables should no longer be there.

Delete and commit.
