Description

Currently, "Reset the certificate" doesn't actually delete the current certificate.

Steps to Reproduce

Open Proxyman for Windows -> Certificate -> Install Certificate for Windows
Visit the certificate at ~/Library/Application Support/Proxyman/certificate/certs/ca.pem (macOS). On Windows, it's on the Roaming folder.
Certificate Menu -> Reset certificate -> Enter Sudo password.
The certificate at ~/Library/Application Support/Proxyman/certificate/certs/ca.pem is still there ❌

Current Behavior

Reset certificate doesn't clear the old certificate.

Expected Behavior

Delete an entire folder ~/Library/Application Support/Proxyman/certificate
Stop and Start the Proxy Core to make sure it generates a new certificate => It's a flaw from the node-mitm-proxy design, as soon as the core is started, it automatically loads or generates a new ca.pem file.
Since we delete the ca.pem, stop & start the core will do the trick
Then, open Certificate Menu -> Install for Windows
Go to Preference -> Make sure it's a new certificate is loaded
Try to proxy some domains and verify it works.
