Description

What would you like to be added:

A way to remove/prune all application resources.

Why is this needed:

Say, when I want to delete/remove my application completely, I try to remove all of its manifests from Git and then use PipeCD sync (with the prune option) to remove all of its resources, but it doesn't work.

Research direction

Start by tracing PipeCD sync with the prune option and how it handles application manifests removed from Git. Review the resource deletion flow and existing tests or entry points it exposes. Done should mean an application can be completely removed by deleting its manifests and syncing with pruning, with behavior covered by tests.
