Conflict of app name in Django with old app name

I am sort of new to Django so I'm using the tutorial on the offical website here

So I created an environment, installed django 2.0.2 and any other packages I needed. Then I opened a terminal and created my polls app with python manage.py startapp polls. As I progressed, I decided I wanted to do some things differently and as I'd not really progressed very far, I just deleted my project files and started fresh.

However, on the second pass through when I tried creating my polls app, I get an error that "'polls' conflicts with the name of an existing Python module and cannot be used as an app name."

I have tried deleting the environment and creating a new one but that doesn't work. I tried starting a brand new project, that doesn't work either. There was no problem creating the app the first time so I'm guessing that it is still located somewhere. Is there a method for completely removing apps in django 2.0.2? All the resources I've seen are for earlier versions.
