Description

I discovered that when a rule, trigger, action or workflow is removed from a git repository and is no longer on the disk of a stackstorm server, the command sudo st2ctl reload --register-setup-virtualenvs --register-all does not purge these items from StackStorm. I have to manually delete them with st2 commands.

It would be very nice if there was a purge flag or something.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how st2ctl reload registers items from disk, understand the data store (MongoDB) schema for actions, rules, etc., and propose a purge flag that removes items not present on disk. Start by examining the reload command in st2ctl and the corresponding Python scripts.
