Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?
Cursor IDE
Describe the Bug
Cursor is taking almost 30 GB on my disk, and it seems most of the space is used by the state.db and state.db backup.
This seems not normal. Is it safe to delete it?
I’ve seen another issue (Deleting global state.vscdb causes infinite 'Loading Chat' in projects, history not recoverable without corrupted backup) that deleting it could cause a broken state in the chat indexing.
I already tried to run the vacuum command on the SQLite database as suggested, but without any success.
Steps to Reproduce
Use cursor
Expected Behavior
Should not take so much space or at least should be safe to delete
