Description
Deleting a plugin on cursor.directory reports success and redirects to the homepage, but the plugin is still live afterwards and still holds its slug and its repository URL.
Steps to reproduce
- Sign in and open a plugin you own, for example https://cursor.directory/plugins/spicyapi
- Plugin options, then Delete
- Confirm the "Delete plugin permanently?" dialog
- The request
POST https://cursor.directory/plugins/spicyapireturns HTTP 200 and the app navigates to/ - Reload https://cursor.directory/plugins/spicyapi
Expected
The plugin is removed.
Actual
The plugin still renders, still marked published. Unpublish behaves the same way: it reports success and the plugin stays published. No client-side console errors are produced, and the server action returns 200 either way.
It looks like the delete matches zero rows, perhaps an ownership or row-level-security predicate that does not match the current session, and the affected row count is never checked before reporting success. A delete that cannot find its target should surface an error rather than a 200.
Knock-on effect
Because the record survives, re-submitting the same repository from a different account fails with:
A plugin with this name or repository already exists. Please choose a different name or repository.
Changing the plugin name (tried spicy-api) fails identically, so the conflict is on the repository URL rather than the slug. The practical result is that the repository is permanently unusable for a new listing, with no self-serve way out.
Request
Please remove the listing spicyapi (https://cursor.directory/plugins/spicyapi, repository https://github.com/Wayfinity/spicyapi-skills). It was published from the wrong account and needs relisting from the correct one, which is currently impossible.

Research direction
Start at the POST /plugins/:slug server action used by the Delete and Unpublish flows, then trace its ownership or row-level-security predicate and affected-row handling. Reproduce the request for spicyapi and verify that a successful deletion removes the listing, while a zero-row match reports an error instead of returning 200.
