Description

If we delete an app based on this guideline: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.2/howto/delete-app/ , so there is no possibility to use prune command for removing stale migration records from django_migrations table for a deleted app.
because we already removed the app from INSTALLED_APPS.

CommandError: No installed app with label 'xyz'.

Pruning migrations for removed apps is not really important. On the contrary, personally, I'd prefer to keep them. If you really want to do this you can always use --prune before removing an app from INSTALLED_APPS. Generally, management commands (and probably any other components) don't support operations on removed apps (except remove_stale_contenttypes --include-stale-apps but it's a different story). It's not worth adding complexity.
