Command to 'reset' cabal

Cabal has problems with working with libraries (e.g. https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/8337), where workarounds are to locate and delete files in hidden folders. These bugs have been around for years and aren't likely to be solved soon.

Would it be possible to have a command that 'reset' cabal to a clean state? E.g. `cabal reset` for deleting the environment file, perhaps with a modifier for deleting the whole package database?
