Completely removing a django app that has dot notation

Question

I want to remove the django.contrib.comments app from a project I'm working on. I tried:

$ python manage.py sqlclear django.contrib.comments

on the shell but got:

Error: App with label django.contrib.comments could not be found. Are you sure your INSTALLED_APPS setting is correct?

I have double checked my INSTALLED_APPS setting and indeed django.contrib.comments is present.

Any suggestions on how to get around this?

Answer 1

The app_name is actually just the last element of the file path. So comments should work.
