I'm trying to configure a simple test site. I have a custom domain, and previously added it to Cloudflare. So DNS records are populated. But then adding "routes" to wrangler, when I deploy, I get the error Hostname 'www.<my-domain>.com' already has externally managed DNS records (A, CNAME, etc). Either delete them, try a different hostname, or use the option 'override_existing_dns_record' to override. [code: 100117] Are there specific DNS entries I need to delete to get this working?

Following up on this, I deleted my A records and CNAME for www. Then deployed with the route pattern "<my-domain>.com". This worked. I'd like to redirect everything to www, but can't seem to get it working correctly.
