Describe the Bug

Hey team,
I’ve been using Cursor for a while on a big monorepo and few days ago, suddenly, during one of the chats, Cursor completely froze and since then every time I try to load the project it’s stuck with a loading animation in the chat pane.

Hi @naorpeled and welcome to Cursor Forum

A loading animation in Chat usually means that the chat is too large or corrupted.

  • Usually starting a new chat works.

What you can try additional:

  • If you need to preserve your chats install SpecStory Extension, open it and it will export your chats into a .specstory folder
  • Try deleting that specific chat (Open Chat pane, click on History and delete the last chat.
  • If deleting a specific chat doesnt work, then renaming the project clears the chat history of that project.

Hi @T1000 and thanks for the swift reply, you rock!

Unfortunately the IDE is completely stuck and I can’t perform any actions.
Is there a way to keep the old history but delete only the corrupted chat?

There are some posts here in the forum about directly accessing the sqlite database. You may have to try them out to see which one works with latest version of the database.
