Chat History Not Loading After Force Quit During SSH Download – Cursor 0.49.6

Issue Description:

I encountered an issue after I force-quit Cursor during a download. I was using Cursor’s SSH integration to download a folder from my server, but I grew impatient and force-quit the app mid-process.

After reopening Cursor, I noticed that I could no longer load previous chat history from the right-side Chat History panel. Clicking on any past conversation doesn’t bring up the content anymore — the window remains empty, after “Loading Chat” pop up.

However, starting a new chat still works normally, and the conversation loads as expected.

What I’ve Tried:

  • Updating Cursor to the latest version
  • Reinstalling Cursor 0.49.6

Neither of these fixed the issue. The problem persists: I still can’t load the older chat history.

Question:

Is there a way to fix or reset the local chat history cache? Or is this a known issue with potential recovery steps?

Thanks
