Using Laravel 5, I've already been through a few DB migrations and realize that a table I created with my first round of migrations is no longer needed. I want to get rid of the table to avoid any sort of confusion in the future, but obviously I also need to prevent the table from being re-created if I reset all migrations.

I'm thinking it would be best to simply delete the migration altogether so if I refresh the table is never created at all. And then maybe just drop the table manually. 

I do have data in my DB, so I'd rather not rollback and refresh everything, what is the correct way to drop a table and remove it from being re-created if I refresh my migrations?
