Project appears to be in a bad state. How to purge all Amplify generated files to escape bad state.

** Current behavior: **

amplify init
// edit backend/api/myapi/schema.graphql
amplify status --> API (Update), Auth (No Change), Storage (No Change)
amplify push --> Everything updates correctly, no errors.
amplify status --> API (Update), Auth (No Change), Storage (No Change)

expected behavior - everything the same as above except the final step should be:

amplify status --> API (No Change), Auth (No Change), Storage (No Change)

** What I’ve tried **

1. Removing the following files

amplify/\#current-cloud-backend
amplify/backend/amplify-meta.json
src/aws-exports.js
aws-exports.js
awsconfiguration.json

1. amplify init
2. amplify status // (API status is: Update)
3. amplify push // (succeeds)
4. amplify status // (API status is: Update)

** Feature Request ** This appears to be a bug in Amplify, but I’m not sure how to reproduce it. I would like to reset Amplify to an initial state (without losing my API, Auth, or Storage configuration), which files do I need to remove to do so?

A command like amplify clean would be useful for when things go wrong.

@ajhool Could you try using amplify env pull --restore? This would basically restore your local backend with whatever is there in the cloud. (i.e in your current-cloud-backend folder).

Thanks we are investigating the issue.
