Remove existing accessory from cache

[mkz212]

Great template. But there is no function that removes existing accessories from the cache when they are no longer in the setup. Currently, there are only two options: get from cache or add new ones.

Hey @mkz212,

Will this work for you?

The lines I have added to remove those existing accessories not restored from cache are as follow:

For me it seems to be ok, but @bwp91 should take a look, he maintain this and knows it best.
