Cursor removed a file without asking my permission

[bladerunner2020]

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

I had an issue with my code and asked Cursor to help in locating it. It successfully did, but also removed a file without asking my permission. I think it’s totally wrong and it must have asked me before removing a file.

Steps to Reproduce

I don’t know how to reproduce it, but I would check that not file is removed without permission.

Expected Behavior

It should have ask to remove this file.

Operating System

MacOS

Hey, thanks for the report. You can try enabling this option in Cursor settings. Use the shortcut Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + J, and in the Chat tab under the Auto-Run section, enable it.
