Deleted chat history keeps reappearing in the sidebar

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Description:

When I delete conversations from the chat history list in the right sidebar, they reappear after a short period (e.g., after switching tabs, restarting Cursor, or sometimes spontaneously). The deletion does not persist.

Steps to Reproduce:

Open the chat history panel in the right sidebar.
Delete one or more past conversations.
Continue working, switch files/tabs, or restart Cursor.
Observe that the previously deleted conversations have reappeared in the list.
Expected Behavior:

Deleted conversations should be permanently removed from the chat history list and should not reappear.

Actual Behavior:

Deleted conversations keep restoring themselves, making it impossible to clean up the chat history. This is disruptive and makes it difficult to manage and navigate past conversations.

Environment:

OS: Windows 10 (build 19045)
Cursor Version: (fill in your version from Help > About)
Additional Notes:

This issue is persistent and reproducible. It happens regardless of whether I delete a single conversation or multiple conversations at once.
