This should be getting prioritized soon. While not a critical issue, we have had several additional users report it. @Eugen_Konkov

This continues to happen, even after several updates/releases. Any update on this? It’s rapidly eroding my trust in Cursor to protect my privacy.

Hey @brn,
The fix for this has been shipped. Could you confirm which version of Cursor you’re currently on? You can find it under Cursor > About Cursor. If you’re on the latest version and still seeing deleted chats reappear, let us know and we’ll dig deeper.

Hey team, thanks for letting us know. Will post here once I have more details on the confirmed fix.
Sorry for the false positive.

This seems to have been fixed for me on 3.2.21, finally! Let’s hope it doesn’t regress again.
