New feature(Discussion) - deletion of dependency script caches when user specifies a tag similar to -f

[anandhu-eng]

Currently, when we remove cache by specifying the tags of the script, only the cache for that particular script is removed.

For example, using the command:

cm rm cache -f --tags=get,imagenet-aux

will only remove the get-dataset-imagenet-aux cache, while the cache files for dependent scripts, such as download-file, will remain intact.

While this approach provides a good safety measure, would it be beneficial to include an option to recursively delete all the dependencies associated with a particular script?

Hi @anandhu-eng we use extra_cache_tags for this. The idea is to use some set of common tags to identify all related dependencies and we can use cm rm cache -f --tags=<list-of-common-tags>.
