CRITICAL: Cursor Helper (retrieval-always-local) Writing 30GB+ Automatically on Launch (Mac)

Hey, this is a known issue. .pack files in ~/Library/Application Support/Cursor/snapshots/ can grow without limits. Main thread: .pack eating up disk space

Just deleting the folder won’t help since the files get recreated as soon as Cursor starts.

Right now there’s only one working workaround: roll back to version 2.5, where the issue doesn’t happen. Older versions are available at Cursor · Download.

Before rolling back, you can free up space by deleting ~/Library/Application Support/Cursor/snapshots/ while Cursor is closed.

The team is aware of the bug, but there’s no ETA for a fix yet. Your report helps us prioritize it.
