Hi guys,
The application is not responding. I’m currently developing a platform and was in the middle of a chat (Sonnet 4) when the app froze and closed by itself.
Now, when I try to reopen the project, it remains stuck and doesn’t allow me to do anything.
Interestingly, if I open a different project, it works fine but the main project I’m working on is completely unresponsive.
Any suggestions on how to resolve this?
Thanks!
Hey, this issue is usually related to a large chat history in your project, which is why everything works fine in another project. To solve the problem, try manually deleting most of the history. You can also try renaming or moving the project. This will help you quickly clear the history.
Additionally, you can delete the history by navigating to:
Windows: %APPDATA%\Cursor\User\workspaceStorage
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Cursor/User/workspaceStorage
Linux: ~/.config/Cursor/User/workspaceStorage
If your history is important to you, you can try exporting it using this extension:
Thanks for the tip! Just to be sure—do you recommend deleting the entire workspaceStorage folder inside %APPDATA%\Cursor\User\, or only the sub-folder that corresponds to the project that’s causing trouble? I’d like to avoid wiping useful data for my other projects if possible.
Yes, you can delete the subfolder containing the chat history. Try sorting them by date to identify which one might be the correct one. Additionally, ensure you save a backup in case you delete the wrong one.
Thank you very much for you support ,
