Asdf-erlang: Install not possible after uninstall

[cehoffman]

There are artifacts from a previous install that prevents new installs from succeeding.

$ asdf install erlang 20.2.4
$ asdf uninstall erlang 20.2.4
$ asdf install erlang 20.2.4
There's already a build named asdf_20.2.4

This is because the files otp_builds and otp_installations in kerl-home contain entries for the asdf_20.2.4 install that need to be removed before a reinstall can occur.

You saved me a lot of headache. I wasted an hour fighting with this until I realised I was searching for the version with the wrong regex and _then_ I stumbled upon this issue.

Thanks!

Thank you @cehoffman ! To elaborate for anyone stumbling across this, you can use:

nano ~/.asdf/plugins/erlang/kerl-home/otp_builds

and delete the offending build entry.
