Feature Request: Locally installed libraries not in lib_deps be removed

• Feature Request

Firstly, apologies if this was asked and closed in another issue... I had a quick look but couldn't see anything.

Current behaviour of PlatformIO is to install missing libraries per the platformio.ini lib_deps parameter. However, in the reverse, it does not remove locally installed libraries no longer listed in lib_deps, which can result in compilation errors if a library is no longer used in a project, but still present in the .pio/libdeps/env-name.

Is this a deliberate design choice to prevent other issues, or could it be made so that the library management routine does this sort of cleanup also?

Yes, we know about this issue and will fix it when a new registry will be released. We want to refactor the package manager in PIO core.
