Hey, thanks for the report
Good news: transcript files exist in .cursor/projects/agent-transcripts, so the data isn’t deleted (unlike mass data loss after updates).
Bad news: UI can’t read them - looks like storage path mismatch after re-authentication.
Need diagnostic info:
-
Click on any old chat that won’t load
-
Help > Toggle Developer Tools > Console tab
-
Screenshot of red errors - that’ll show why UI can’t read transcript files
-
Check size of this file:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Cursor\User\globalStorage\state.vscdb- If 2-10 MB = problem (should be 50+ MB for lots of chats)
- If normal size = storage path issue
Similar cases:
- Cursor AI is no longer able to load chats locally - mass issue with re-auth + chat loss
- Where are past chat history - They disappear! - chats tied to project path
Send console errors screenshot - we’ll see if we can recover access to transcript files.
