This took me a while to figure out. `drush cde module_name` exports config based on the `config_devel` information found on the modules info.yml file.

However, it doesn't delete existing yml files in the config/install directory.

I believe it should, because right know configuration that doesn't exist on the site (or is not marked for export) still remains in the install folder.

On second thought, I can now see that it possible that there is also config that is not managed by config_devel in the directory, which would be a bad idea to delete.
