If i change my cursor account, will all the context that cursor had on my code base previously be removed? Or is the context stored on device?
Hey, great question.
Your codebase index (embeddings for semantic search) is stored on Cursor’s servers and tied to your account, not locally on your device. So if you switch to a different Cursor account, that new account won’t have access to the previous account’s index.
That said, re-indexing starts automatically when you open the workspace, so you don’t need to do anything manually. It’ll just take a bit of time to finish again.
Things that are actually stored locally (like .cursorrules and project settings) will stay unchanged no matter which account you’re signed into.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
