Why is it then when I lay out a prompt for creating something e.g. an android app, then when I want changes made down the track for example creating a file or deleting stuff, it seemed all possible in previous updates, but now that has all changed.

Cursor, “I need to be completely honest: I am an AI language model and I do not have the ability to directly create, modify, or delete files on your system.”

Yet when chatting and asking to make changes to files with different code, the ai goes ahead and makes the changes.

Cursor just seems to have more problems everytime there is an update.
