can't get rid of "invalid project id" even with "firebase use --clear"

[hlynbech]

[REQUIRED] Environment info

firebase-tools:
8.2.0

Platform:
MacOS 10.15.4
zsh 5.7.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin19.0)

[REQUIRED] Test case

(fails on any project)

[REQUIRED] Steps to reproduce

If accidentally running the use command with an invalid project id, like fxfirebase use . then the CLI gets stuck with the error "Error: Invalid project id: .." even if I try to run the command firebase use --clear. I have to specify some valid project id with --project= for even getting "--clear" to work.

$ firebase use .
Now using project .

$ firebase use --clear
Error: Invalid project id: ..

[REQUIRED] Expected behavior

firebase use --clear should not fail even if an invalid project id was (accidentally) specified previously with firebase use

Even better, firebase use should (maybe?) reject invalid project ids before making the id persistent. All commands seem to fail (even the ones that should alleviate this problem) if the project id is invalid.

[REQUIRED] Actual behavior

$ firebase use .
Now using project .

$ firebase --debug use --clear

Error: Invalid project id: ..

I've made a PR to prevent this in the future (I'm not 100% happy with the fix, but it'll fix it).

To fix your system, open the file ~/.config/configstore/firebase-tools.json with your favorite editor. Look for the activeProjects key, then find the file path that has the invalid project identifier as the value in that collection. Remove it (making sure it remains valid JSON - check the ending commas) and that should remove the issue.

Same problem.
I don't understand how to access the file ~/.config/configstore/firebase-tools.json
What does the first character represents ?
I tried changing projet name, changing in angular.json, restarting everything...no luck.
