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

Related feature requests:

- [Delete all chat button in chat history window](https://forum.cursor.com/t/delete-all-chat-button-in-chat-history-window/122930)
- [Improve chat history](https://forum.cursor.com/t/improve-chat-history/132955)

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.
