Look for files with .corrupted. in the name. They contain your backup data. If you find any:
- Fully close Cursor
- In ~/.config/Cursor/User/globalStorage/:
* Move state.vscdb and state.vscdb.backup to a backup folder
* Rename the .corrupted.* file to state.vscdb - Restart Cursor
So, it is not showing outwardly as corrupted. Perhaps it is there but I cannot see the menu entries to get to it? The top bar has changed while I was off doing interesting things, and I am not at all sure where things are.
