Reproduction steps:

1. Open the attached project “IN-90971“
2. Open the scene “ExampleScene“
3. Open the Rendering Debugger. Go to Window → Analysis → Rendering Debugger
4. Open the Lighting tab and for the Shadow Debug Mode option, select “Visualize Cached Punctual Light Atlas“
5. Enter Play Mode
6. Try toggling the light components using UI provided
7. Observe the result

Expected result: Disabling the light components with preserveCachedShadow disabled should evict their light texture from the shadow atlas
Actual result: Disabling the light components with preserveCachedShadow disabled did not evict their light texture from the shadow atlas. Thus, other light components with preserveCachedShadow disabled are unable to be added to the shadow atlas.
