Cursor freezes on startup looking for chat

[jimrettew]

Cursor freezes on startup because its endlessly looking to load the last chat but can’t find it. I don’t know how to tell it to start a new chat as clicking the + or hitting command L doesn’t work either. None of the buttons or commands work.

I can’t loose my code! How do I get Cursor to stop searching for the last chat and just give me my code.

Note, I can open other projects just fine. It’s just the one I want that I can’t open.

Using an M1 Macbook Air on Sequoia 15.5. Using a relatively new version of Cursor since I just started at the beginning of June. This issue stops me from using Cursor for the project I need.

I got it to work with customer service Sam’s help!

This is what he suggested.

Try clearing Cursor’s app data:

• Run these commands in Terminal:

sudo rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Cursor

rm -f ~/.cursor.json

Ok great that this worked for you. It is recommended to backup those the folder and file before deleting them just in case something goes wrong.
