This answer is for postgresql DB:

Run: echo 'drop owned by some_user' | ./manage.py dbshell

NOTE: some_user is the name of the user you use to access the database, see settings.py file:

default_database = {
    'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
    'NAME': 'somedbname',
    'USER': 'some_user',
    'PASSWORD': 'somepass',
    'HOST': 'postgresql',
    'PORT': '',
}
