For the second time you have managed to reset my state.vscdb with your unstable, buggy software!
I had cursor open on version 2.3.29.
I’ve closed it down 10 minutes ago and opened a new copy and old chats stick on Loading Chat…
I’ve browsed to the globalStorage folder and I see a 4KB file
Steps to Reproduce
Use cursor for a few days/weeks and it resets your state.vscdb that has been reported by hundreds of others and you claimed was fixed in version 2.3
Hey, thanks for the report. Your data can definitely be recovered.
You have a file named state.vscdb.corrupted.1767892516529 that’s 2.3 GB. That’s your full chat history. Your current state.vscdb is only 4 KB, so it’s empty or reset.
Steps to restore:
Fully close Cursor (double-check in Task Manager).
In %APPDATA%\Cursor\User\globalStorage:
Rename state.vscdb to state.vscdb.broken
Rename state.vscdb.corrupted.1767892516529 to state.vscdb
Launch Cursor.
Your chat history should come back. Let me know if it worked.
So what is the point of a .backup file if Cursor doesn’t detect it has corrupted the primary file and restore from the backup?
Why would I have any confidence in swapping back to a file that has been labelled “.corrupted” ?
Is this really what to expect from a fairly expensive $200 per month subscription that it periodically corrupts chat history and it’s down to the end user to fix the mess?
