I have noticed Claude's extreme and obtuse reluctance to delete code, even code that it just wrote that I told it is wrong. For example, it might produce a fn:
fn foo(bar)
And then I say, no, I actually wanted you to "foo with a frobnitz", so now we get:
fn foo(bar) // Never called
fn foo_with_frobnitz(bar)

It's very high profile when an LLM deletes the wrong thing, eg https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2025/07/ai-coding-assistants-chase-phantoms-destroy-real-user-data/ https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2025/07/ai-co...
