Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

A chat has appeared that won’t load or delete, and clicking the cross doesn’t respond. This isn’t a big deal for me, but I’m a little annoyed that it won’t delete. Sorry, I’m using a translator and don’t know English.

Steps to Reproduce

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report.

It looks like the chat record is corrupted. Try this workaround:

  1. Close Cursor
  2. Open the folder %APPDATA%\Cursor\User\workspaceStorage
  3. Find and delete the folder for your current project
  4. Restart Cursor

This should clear the stuck chat. Note: this will delete the chat history for that workspace.

Let me know if it helps.

And how to find a broken chat among these folders?

Good question! Inside each folder there’s a workspace.json file. Open it in Notepad, and you’ll see the path to the project.

Or based on your screenshot, the 611ceca4275e95a4ad13cae8d789a4ed folder (11.01.2026 1:20) is the newest one. It’s probably the current project with the corrupted chat.

Try this:

  • Close Cursor
  • Delete the 611ceca4275e95a4ad13cae8d789a4ed folder
  • Launch Cursor again

Let me know if it helped.
