I just tested `pulumi login --local` and wanted to switch back to using the service, but no matter how often I call `pulumi logout`, I'm always being logged back in to local

I found that `~/.pulumi/credentials.json` still shows
```
{
    "current": "file://~",
    "accessTokens": {
        "file://~": ""
    }
}
```
after logout

Following the docs here <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/cli/pulumi_login/> that's at least a bit unexpected to me, thinking it would then revert back to the hosted service if I don't specify anything

That is surprising. What do you see as output when you `pulumi login`?  

Yes - for me - `pulumi logout` leads to removing the `current`. 

What cli version and OS are you on?

```
 pulumi login
Logged into david-thinkpad as david (file:///home/david)
```

deleting the `credentials.json` causes pulumi to prompt me again.

Huh - weird. Just tried in `ubuntu` and couldn't reproduce.  Could you open an issue with any details so we can investigate?

What other info would you like in the issue?

Can't think of anything more than what you've shared here - but if you can think of anything else unique - feel free to add it.
