I am lost of words how this ever could happened . I was so impressed by your AI . I lost all my data , important 3mf and stl files used for my small business, all documents and all fragile files.

Is Cursor going to do anything about this? It seems to be an ongoing issue and for people who lost YEARS of data/photos/projects, there has to be SOMETHING this company can offer.

Right now the report doesn’t have enough evidence, and some symptoms don’t match the file deletion cases we know about on Windows. For exa…

@Abdelrahman , I get the reaction. The point of a separate thread isn’t to brush this off. Your case is different from the OP in three important ways: different drives (C and G vs C and D), you believe auto-run was off, and both protection toggles are on (File-Deletion and External-File).
