The service discovery action Remove all and find new (also known as Tabula rasa) did not remove vanished services from the autochecks file. This was inconsistent with the action's label and with the equivalent Refresh all services and host labels (tabula rasa) option used by bulk discovery and periodic discovery, which both remove vanished services.

The bug was particularly visible for vanished services that are also matched by a Disabled services rule: such services kept reappearing on the discovery page after clicking Remove all and find new.

The interactive action now removes all vanished services, including those matched by a Disabled services rule.
