remove_stale_contenttypes only removes stale content types for stale models in installed apps. It doesn't remove stale content types whose app was either removed or renamed.

To avoid data loss, add a flag in the management command to get everyone on board. The flag being off by default and only turns on if you know what you’re doing and enable it. At any rate i believe from what i can i see in the code it will still prompt you to delete the items it finds unless you added the ——no—input which prevents helps with data loss.
