exists_skip and delete_old ignored

[magick93]

🐛 Bug Description

When running the following (note the last 2 args) command

python data_collector/yahoo/collector.py update_data_to_bin --qlib_data_1d_dir ~/.qlib/qlib_data/us_data --region us --interval 1d --version v2 --trading_date 2022-01-01 --end_date 2022-12-31 --exists_skip true --delete_old false

I get the following terminal output and prompt:

python scripts/data_collector/yahoo/collector.py update_data_to_bin --qlib_data_1d_dir ~/.qlib/qlib_data/us_data --region us --interval 1d --version v2 --trading_date 2022-01-01 --end_date 2022-12-31 --exists_skip true --delete_old false

I think I have found the cause of this problem and if I add the delete_old parameter when calling the qlib_data method in this line of code, it will be solved. Would you like to be a contributor to this community by pull request to solve this issue.
