After a migration with south, I ended up deleting a column. Now the current data in one of my tables is screwed up and I want to delete it, but attempts to delete just result in an error:
>>> d = Degree.objects.all()
>>> d.delete()
Traceback (most recent call last):

Is there a simple way to just force a delete? Do I drop the table and then rerun manage.py schemamigration to recreate the table in south?
