The contrib/refresh_checksums.mk script does not delete old checksums #43140

This has been discussed before, but I couldn't find an open issue for it.

Currently, the contrib/refresh_checksums.mk script will add any new checksums if they are missing, but it will not delete the old checksums. Therefore, the user has to manually delete the old checksums.

It would be much more convenient if the contrib/refresh_checksums.mk script also deleted the old checksums.


Of course, the script should only delete old checksums for the requested dependencies.

For example, if I run the script as make -f contrib/refresh_checksums.mk libuv, I want the script to delete any old checksums for libuv. However, I don't want it to delete any checksums for dependencies other than libuv.
