Hello!

What is the standard way of clearing the pnpm dlx/pnpx cache? I tried looking everywhere I could, and couldn't find anything. It's driving me a little bit crazy.

For example, I ran pnpx tsx as a test. This downloaded tsx automatically the first time I ran it. If I ran it again, it didn't have to download it, since it was cached.

So far so good, but now I want to remove that package since I'm done testing. I tried pnpm cache prune, and it did nothing. Turns out that command is for clearing metadata that new versions of pnpm no longer use, so it's unrelated to what I want. I tried pnpm store prune, and it also did nothing. Turns out pnpx makes a package.json file per package that you run (in ~/.cache/pnpm/dlx/<some hash>/pkg/package.json), so there is nothing to prune, since there's a reference from that package.json file.

I couldn't find anything related to removing individual cached packages from dlx either. There is some code that implies that the dlx cache is automatically cleared after a day, but I haven't tested this and would like to know if there's a way to clear it on-demand.
