Cursor removed a file without asking my permission

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

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

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.
