Description

I want to update pnpm in a dir by using corepack up but it creates an extra dir ~/.cache/node/corepack/v1/corepack-* which is 20MB and ~/.cache/node/corepack/v1/pnpm/10.6.5. corepack use pnpm only creates ~/.cache/node/corepack/v1/pnpm/10.6.5. Extra dir should be removed.

corepack cache clean
cd dir
corepack up

corepack cache clean
cd dir
corepack use pnpm

Research direction

Reproduce the behavior in a directory using the two command sequences, comparing the cache after corepack up with the cache after corepack use pnpm. Trace the corepack up command entry point and cache handling; done means updating pnpm without creating the extra corepack-* directory.
