No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. It looks like a caching issue: deleted shared documents are incorrectly staying in @Docs suggestions.

This should be a fairly simple fix on our side, the shared docs cache likely isn’t being invalidated when someone removes a document from their shared collection.

Workarounds for now:

  • Restart Cursor (this should refresh the cache)
  • Ignore the deleted docs in suggestions; they won’t work if selected anyway

I’ll pass this to the team, since this behavior isn’t expected. @Docs suggestions should reflect the current state of available documentation.

Hi @deanrie, than you for your reply. Restarting Cursor does not remove these doc entries from the cache. We’ll wait for the fix :+1:.
