config-file doesn't remove from AndroidManifest.xml added-deleted settings

Bug Report

Problem

If I add a custom setting to the config.xml file using config-file, build, and later I delete it, and build again, the custom setting will remain in the AndroidManifest.xml

What does actually happen?

1. Add a custom setting to the config.xml file using config-file, by example "testx":

.....

2. Run cordova build android. The AndroidManifest.xml is modified and the custom setting "testx" is added:
   <manifest ....

3. Delete the custom setting "testx":

.....

3. Run cordova build android. The "testx" remains in the AndroidManifest.xml.

<manifest ....

I tried remove it directly from the AndroidManifest.xml but the custom settings appers again on build.

What is expected to happen?

The custom settings should be removed.

<manifest ....

In order to remove the setting I had to delete the android build folder, in the .grade folder the cache folder, the android.json file and remove the setting in the AndroidManifest.xml, and build it again.
