How to Rename DBContext in Entity Framework 6

I had an issue with EF not pulling in the Foreign Key relationships when doing an Update Model From Database. So I just deleted the .edmx file and regenerated it. The problem is that my context type was named InventoryMgmtContext, and now I am getting the error 

The type of namespace InventoryMgmtContext could not be found.

Where/how can you rename the context?
