Here you can see how I solved this.

Be careful with this approach because in my scenario I'm still in development phase so I do not need to keep the database nor the data.

If you want to overwrite the current "InitialCreate" file and re-generate the DB, follow these steps:

1) Run in Package Manager Console:

Add-Migration InitialCreate -force

2) Delete the physical database (use SSMS, T-SQL or your prefered)

3) Run in Package Manager Console:

Update-Database -TargetMigration:0 | update-database -force | update-database -force

If you do not care about the current "InitialCreate" file itself, want to create a new one and re-generate the DB, follow these steps:

1) Delete current "InitialCreate" .cs file

3) Run in Package Manager Console:

Add-Migration InitialCreate

4) Delete the physical database (use SSMS, T-SQL or your prefered)

4) Run in Package Manager Console:

Update-Database -TargetMigration:0 | update-database -force | update-database -force
