Migrating Error in Migrating statuses

I think I understand the error, but I don't know how to fix it. I am following along with "Creating an Authentication System/Migrating Statuses" around the 1:50 Mark.

Thanks!

rake db:migrate
== AddDeviseToUsers: migrating ===============================================
-- change_table(:users)
rake aborted!
An error has occurred, this and all later migrations canceled:

SQLite3::SQLException: duplicate column name: email: ALTER TABLE "users" ADD "email" varcha r(255) DEFAULT '' NOT NULL

Tasks: TOP => db:migrate
(See full trace by running task with --trace)

What is in your migration file?

Good Question... I'm new to this. I compared my db migrate files to the lesson files and found an extra file. I think it was conflicting. I must have forgotten to delete it.

Thanks for the help! Now I'm back on track :)
