Ghost child bridge

[justjam2013]

Describe The Bug

I have a single plugin installed in my test instance of Homebridge, which does not have a Child Bridge configured:

However in Settings, there is an extra bridge configured, which is not used by the only accessory and is not paired:

This bridge is not the main Homebridge bridge:

When I tested installing the plugin from NPM, I configured a bridge, but later went back and unconfigured it. It appears that the bridge was not deleted when removed from the plugin. As you can see in the config below, the plugin is not configured to use a child bridge.
