After encountering unexpected behavior i would like to request a feature

I used a library with lib_deps that does not compile with the RP2040. After removing the library from the lib_deps list in platform.ini and cleaning up it still didn’t compile. That was due to the library still being in the .pio\libdeps folder and thus the compilation failed.
I thus had to manually delete all files in the libdeps folder. I was expecting that the clean function would do that.

The reason is most likely to avoid regular redownloading of libdeps.
Thus I would propose a "clean all" or "delete cached files" button or subselect dialog for the clear button.

I think it's important that developers have the ability to reset/clear all intermediate files to avoid unnecessary debugging because some cached libs are not deleted as expected.
