Uneditable and removable layouts

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Old layouts appear in the Layout Switcher (⌥⌘⇥) and the Default Layout settings. But not in the Change Layout cog popover

Steps to Reproduce

Not quite sure, exactly. Maybe upgrade from a previous version where there were custom layouts.

Expected Behavior

I should be given the option to customize the layout and remove layouts.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known issue. During the migration to the new layout system, custom layouts stayed in storage, but the UI to manage them (create, delete, edit) was removed from the cog popover.
