How to delete a Django application
|
|
==================================
|
|
|
|
Django provides the ability to group sets of features into Python packages
|
|
called :doc:`applications</ref/applications/>`. When requirements change, apps
|
|
may become obsolete or unnecessary. The following steps will help you delete an
|
|
application safely.
|
|
|
|
#. Remove all references to the app (imports, foreign keys etc.).
|
|
|
|
#. Remove all models from the corresponding ``models.py`` file.
|
|
|
|
#. Create relevant migrations by running :djadmin:`makemigrations`. This step
|
|
generates a migration that deletes tables for the removed models, and any
|
|
other required migration for updating relationships connected to those
|
|
models.
|
|
|
|
#. :ref:`Squash <migration-squashing>` out references to the app in other apps'
|
|
migrations.
|
|
|
|
#. Apply migrations locally, runs tests, and verify the correctness of your
|
|
project.
|
|
|
|
#. Deploy/release your updated Django project.
|
|
|
|
#. Remove the app from :setting:`INSTALLED_APPS`.
|
|
|
|
#. Finally, remove the app's directory.
