### Where does the bug appear (feature/product)? Cursor IDE ### Describe the Bug After the agent has finished making changes, we can review them, or in the chat, keep all changes or undo all changes. Clicking undo _deletes the file in which the changes are made!_. I am not sure if this was isolated incident or happens consistently, but happened 2 times to me today, in as many tries as I clicked undo. I thought it is serious enough to report. To be clear: the file was not freshly created by the agent. It existed prior to asking the agent to make changes. ### Steps to Reproduce Ask the agent to make a change in a single file. Once it is finished - click undo in chat to undo all changes. Observe the file disappear! ### Expected Behavior The changes should be undone, and the file kept as it was prior to the agents work. ### Operating System MacOS ### Version Information Version: 2.5.14 VSCode Version: 1.105.1 Commit: 9bda0059a130a70126468c18165a0e49ce979160 Date: 2026-02-15T17:48:47.664Z Build Type: Stable Release Track: Early Access Electron: 39.3.0 Chromium: 142.0.7444.265 Node.js: 22.21.1 V8: 14.2.231.22-electron.0 OS: Darwin arm64 25.2.0 ### For AI issues: which model did you use? Opus 4.6 ### Does this stop you from using Cursor Sometimes - I can sometimes use Cursor ---

Hey, this is a known issue. Undo or Reject can sometimes delete the whole file instead of rolling back changes. A few users have already reported it, and the team is aware. Main thread with details: [Rejecting suggested changes can delete the entire file](https://forum.cursor.com/t/rejecting-suggested-changes-can-delete-the-entire-file/150500) If your file already got deleted, here are a few ways to restore it: 1. Checkpoints: Open the chat where the agent made changes, find the message right before the deletion, then click Restore Checkpoint. 2. Git: `git checkout -- ` 3. Timeline: In Explorer (bottom left), pick the last working version of the file. As a precaution, I’d recommend committing before accepting or rolling back agent changes. Let me know if there’s anything else. ---
