Helper Derivate rules: Change of Time Unit does not get changed in the entity itself

[thotha]

The problem

If I try to change a time unit in a derivate helper form %/min to %/h, in the Config --> Helper --> Helper Name UI, the change is stored and shown correctly in the Options View but the system in the background does not follow the change. If the Derivate Helper was created with %/min then it will stay for all the time being. Also if I delete that Helper and create a new one with the same Entity ID but with changed Time Unit the old data with the old Time Unit is still present in the database. That the old data of the deleted helper is still present and can not manually be deleted is in my opinion a bug. If I delete a helper which stores data then there should be a possibility to choose if the corresponding data should be deleted as well or it should be kept in the data storage.

Example YAML snippet

This is after changing form %/min to %/h. Copied from "/homeassistant/.storage/core.config_entries"
{
  "entry_id": "df06aeb03b49187764c2eb52427310f4",
  "version": 1,
  "domain": "derivative",
  "title": "Test Humidity History Balcony",
  "data": {},
  "options": {
    "name": "Test Humidity History Balcony",
    "source": "sensor.balkon_temperatur_sensor_luftfeuchtigkeit",
    "round": 2.0,
    "time_window": {
      "hours": 0,
      "minutes": 1,
      "seconds": 0
    },
    "unit_time": "h"
  },
  "pref_disable_new_entities": false,
  "pref_disable_polling": false,
  "source": "user",
  "unique_id": null,
  "disabled_by": null
}

Data from /developer-tools/state "sensor.test_humidity_history_balcony". Here it still stays with "%/min" and NOT "%/h"

source: sensor.balkon_temperatur_sensor_luftfeuchtigkeit
unit_of_measurement: "%/min"
icon: mdi:chart-line
friendly_name: Test Humidity History Balcony

Furthermore, even if you purge the stats for the deleted entity, manually verify that it was removed from core.config_entries and restart, the same incorrect unit persists when you create the entity with the same id and new unit.
