It would be great to have a simple way to clean/flush out all unnecessary stuff, ie. an extension of sdk flush archives.

sdk clean all

would do: sdk flush archives plus sdk clean $SDK for every installed SDK, ie. removing unused and unpinned versions.

sdk (un)pin $SDK $version

would make a specific version of an SDK immune against "sdk clean all|$SDK". Currently active versions of an SDK would be immune.

Is this a more detailed version of part 2 of #643? If so, should these 2 issues be merged?

Yes

One currently annoying thing about the manual process is that I add the jvm installed via sdkman to intellij, after cleaning them out I always end up with a few broken paths. I would like sdkman to also manage a symlink like ~/.sdkman/candidates/java/JAVA_21 should point to the latest installed jvm, e.g. ~/.sdkman/candidates/java/21.0.3-jbr and ideally this also manages the vendors, e.g. ~/.sdkman/candidates/java/jbr also points to the latest installed jbr, while .sdkman/candidates/java/nik might point to ~/.sdkman/candidates/java/23.1.3.r21-nik

This would make cleaning up unwanted versions much less fragile as long as you only use the symlinks and not the real paths.

For now I will resolve to just always using ~/.sdkman/candidates/java/current in intellij, which is good enough for most projects and use gradle toolchains to manage the other candidates.
