Entity Framework core won't update database

I successfully created an Entity Framework Core migration and updated the database with it.

Then after I added another class, I created a second migration called "update1" which created a class of the same name from the command line tools. However, when I attempt to update the database, it fails. Here is the commands I used

dotnet ef migrations add update1  -c MyDbContext

dotnet ef database update update1  -c MyDbContext

and it failed with

There is already an object named MyTable in the database

which is a table which was created in the initial migration.

How can I tell it to either ignore the error, or else to only attempt to run the update1 migration?

Edit: deleting the table that was already there caused this odd behavior to stop happening and now it works as expected.

Thanks
