Feature request for product/service

Cursor IDE

Describe the request

I would like to delete all the chats in the archive in the agent and not click on every chat manually to delete it. This would help me a lot.

Operating System (if it applies)

MacOS

Hey, thanks for the request. Other users have asked for this already, and the team is considering adding it.

If this feature matters to you, please like those topics. It helps us prioritize development.

Temporary workaround: Chat history is stored locally in SQLite. You can delete the workspace storage folder:

  • Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Cursor/User/workspaceStorage/
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Cursor\User\workspaceStorage\
  • Linux: ~/.config/Cursor/User/workspaceStorage/

This will delete all chat history for all projects.

What’s the roadmap for adding this? It’s been 5 months since your response. Your manual fix doesn’t seem to work in 3.x. Is there an internal business reason for not giving users this feature? I assume it’s good for Cursor to have the info available, but as a user sometime dealing with PII and other senstitive data it’s importan for me to clean my machine regularly of data. It’s a security risk to have it laying around.
