So in models.py file there's one field which is to be removed and another field is to be added at the end. This process has to be done once daily at specific time. For example, assume there are five fields in my models i.e. A,B,C,D and E. At some specific time field B will be removed and new field E will be added after D, again same process will repeat next day field C will be removed and new field F will be added after E. I can implement this process through python file handling and "with" method.

When you say "field" are these FileFields <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.1/ref/models/fields/#filefield>? And when you say "removed" and "added", are you talking about actually removing the field from the model(via migrations <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.1/topics/migrations/>) or setting that field to "None"(null) when you "remove" it?
