How to completely reset Cursor?

Discussion
1

I need to start fresh with Cursor but uninstalling via Homebrew preserves my old user settings and configuration. Deleting ~/.cursor and ~/.cursor-tutor does not seem to re-trigger the first-time wizard either.

Where does Cursor store its configuration files? Looking to purge those director(ies) as necessary to restart.

Found the solution:

Delete ~/Library/Application Support/Cursor if you want to start completely from zero (do at your own risk)

how about for Windows?

C:\Users<insert your username>/.cursor

I removed that and factory reset the whole shebang.

On windows, cursor version 0.42.4 delete the folders
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming.cursor
C:\Users\USERNAME.cursor
