Proposed Changes

https://netboxlabs.com/docs/netbox/en/stable/plugins/removal/ describes the removal of a plugin's models from the database.

What's missing however is the information how to remove a plugin's resources from the database so that it can be reinstalled at a later time. The problem is that the plugin's migrations are not deleted from django_migrations, so any attempt to install the plugin at a later time will fail because Django thinks that the migrations have already been executed.

The documentation should describe how to remove the migration entries from django_migrations as well.

Hi @arthanson. You can assign that one to me as well. It's just two sentences in the docs.
