gollark: ++delete the table
gollark: It stores a schema version number and uses that to determine whether it needs to run commands to create new tables and stuff, so if you delete tables without actually creating a migration for it then it will *not* automatically recreate them but will act as if they still exist, so stuff will break horribly.
gollark: That would wipe all deleted items and quite possibly break the bot's database migration logic.
gollark: You could do something like `DELETE FROM deleted_items WHERE id = [whatever]`, though obviously that would require finding the ID..
gollark: It uses SQLite3.
