Hi Eugen, Thanks for raising this! I can confirm that I have reproduced this exact behavior, and I have filed a bug report. Appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Best, Kevin

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

Hi @Eugen_Konkov The fix for this bug has been merged, should be making it’s way to a release version soon. Thank you for reporting it.

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. cc: @Eugen_Konkov
