Answer 1

You can simple delete db.sqlite ie, database file
then run python manage.py makemigration and then python manage.py migrate.

I hope this is what you were looking for

Answer 2

If you want to truncate only a single table then use {ModelName}.objects.all().delete() otherwise use can use "python manage.py flush" for truncate database.
