My solution is best suited for :
- deleted your mdf file
- want to re-create your db.

In order to recreate your database you need add the connection using Visual Studio.

Step 1 : Go to Server Explorer add new connection( or look for a add db icon).

Step 2 : Change Datasource to Microsoft SQL Server Database File.

Step 3 : add any database name you desire in the Database file name field.(preferably the same name you have in the web.config AttachDbFilename attribute)

Step 4 : click browse and navigate to where you will like it to be located.

Step 5 : in the package manager console run command update-database
