Removing files from context does not work

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

The attached video clearly displays the issue.

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/1fbfa220-05f3-46a7-b586-391617507aa9

Steps to Reproduce

1. Attach file to prompt by writing @filename
2. Write rest of the prompt (in my case "what are the attached files")
3. Remove attachment by pressing X
4. Send your request
5. See how the AI still sees the file as attached.

Expected Behavior

The files which are removed from the context are truly removed from the context. Right now, they are visually removed from the context, but still behave as if they were there.
