If you are trying to create an ApplicationUsersController please follow these steps.

1. Delete this line from IdentityModels.cs

   public System.Data.Entity.DbSet ApplicationUsers { get; set; }
   

2. Build the project

   control + shift + b
   

3. Generate the controller

   Right click on the 'Controllers' folder.
   Add > Controller
   MVC Controller with views, using Entity Framework
   Model Class: ApplicationUser
   Add
   

4. Go back to IdentityModels.cs and delete this line AGAIN

   public System.Data.Entity.DbSet ApplicationUsers { get; set; }
   

5. Build the project

   control + shift + b
   

6. Change the database calls to from ApplicationUsers to Users in ApplicationUsersController.cs

   control + f to bring up 'Find and Replace'
   Click 'Replace in files'
   Find what: db.ApplicationUsers
   Replace with: db.Users
   Replace All
   

7. Press play and cross fingers :)
