Empty experiments are not listed properly about crayon

[Timonzimm]

I think these lines are the ones involved in the issue:
https://github.com/torrvision/crayon/blob/master/server/server.py#L252-L256

remove_all_experiments tries to get_experiment_names but the function retrieves only experiments which have data. This seems like incorrect logic to me, we would like to return all experiments, no matter if they have data associated or not.

I'll do this when I refactor the server post-ICML.

I think this is the same issue I am, having, to make things more concrete, you can see the issue I have here:
I get this error:
ValueError: Something went wrong. Server sent: 'scalev7' experiment already exists.
`

cc = CrayonClient(hostname="localhost")
print(cc.get_experiment_names())
if args.name in cc.get_experiment_names():
    cc.remove_experiment(args.name)
cc_server = cc.create_experiment(args.name)`

here is the output of get_experiment_names:
['scalev3', 'scalev5', 'scalev4']

Come across the same bug. It seems that cc.get_experiment_names and cc.remove_all_experiments don't function well.

And those are the main functions of this library!

Bumping this up.
Experiment with zero data points doesnt get listed in get_experiment_names(), but still exists on the server.
Removing and creating seems to be the go. For now.
