Hey guys I hope you're doing well. I'm new to Pulumi and I'm trying to migrate from terraform. I have very fundamental question - does pulumi cache anything externally?

I have some troubles in following scenario. I have local directory with pulumi, I am logged in locally (pulumi login file://.)
From time to time I want to test my deployment from the very beginning, so I delete entire k8s cluster manually via cloud provider website.
Then, I basically initialise new pulumi login file://. Then, I call 'pulumi up'.

Somehow, sometimes, instead of creating a new k8s cluster, pulumi keeps calling already deleted cluster that results in following error:
```    error: configured Kubernetes cluster is unreachable: unable to load schema information from the API server: Get "<https://xxx.xxx.k8s.ovh.net/openapi/v2?timeout=32s>": EOF```
Which is odd because I don't see any possibility for this value to be persisted anywhere in .pulumi state directory

edit: In fact, I moved from cloud to local file://. because I think I experienced similar issues.

Pulumi caches the state of your infrastructure in state files. logging in with file:// will put them in the local directory under a ".puluim" folder.
