Unable to delete empty, unused collection

In my schema file I had specified a collection and later I changes the collection name, it works., In my Convex dashboard I can see both the collections (empty for now)
I tried to delete the collection I am not using, but it threw error
"Failed to insert or update a document in table "COLLECTION_NAME" because it does not match the schema: Table "COLLECTION_NAME" that appears in schema must exist"

Ok, I added the collection back in schema file and then tried to delete it, In this case I got error saying (not exact): Collection exists in schema file, I cannot delete it, First I need to remvoe the collection from schema file.

Now, you see the condition issue I am running into?
TLDR; To delete a collection I have to remove it from my schema file AND to delete a collection, that collection must be present in the schema file.

Hi @everyone with everything going on today I forgot to post on discord about our EU launch! We have a region in Dublin now! You can start using it immediately, even for folks on the free plan. https://news.convex.dev/we-finally-got-our-eu-visa/ Stay tuned for more regions but also stay tuned for more infra improvements where we improve latency for teams no matter where their servers are located. Just at the tip of the iceberg re all the optimizations we have lined up.
