RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
subscription-manager clean --help shows the proxy command line options as an available option.  I do NOT believe that the clean module has any need for proxy options.

[root@jsefler-onprem01 ~]# subscription-manager clean --help
Usage: subscription-manager clean [OPTIONS]

removes all local consumer data, does not effect the server.

Options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --debug=DEBUG         debug level
  --proxy=PROXY_URL     proxy url in the form of proxy_hostname:proxy_port
  --proxyuser=PROXY_USER
                        user for http proxy with basic authentication
  --proxypassword=PROXY_PASSWORD
                        password for http proxy with basic authentication




Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@jsefler-onprem01 ~]# rpm -q subscription-manager
subscription-manager-0.93.6-1.git.0.833aab2.el6.x86_64


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
[root@jsefler-onprem01 ~]# subscription-manager clean --proxy=kjhkjlkjh
All local data removed

^^^^ NOTICE THAT THE SPECIFIED proxy VALUE IS CLEARLY IGNORED...  BECAUSE clean DOES NOT NEED A PROXY TO CLEAN ALL LOCAL DATA.
