View not getting removed in down function

Hello,

When running php artisan migrate:fresh --seed I get the error that the view already exists.

I don't understand why however as the down function of this class is as follows:

public function down()
    {
        DB::unprepared('DROP TRIGGER insert_trainer');
        DB::unprepared('DROP TRIGGER delete_trainer');
        DB::unprepared('DROP VIEW eggfriends_count');
    }

After posting this whilst looking at the file names in my Seeder folder I realised this might be due to the Class and/or Filename? Perphaps Laravel assumes that if there's no "Create" in their names that there won't be a reason to run the down method?

[edit] Change the class to CreateViewsAndAddTriggersTable and the file to 2018_10_07_175757_create_views_and_add_triggers_table.php to no avail. So much for that theory.

Changing unprepared to statement also changed nothing.
