Ignore file doesn't work

How To
1

I’m experiencing an issue where Cursor is failing to exclude files as specified in my ignore files. I’ve tried using .gitignore , .cursorignore , and .vscodeignore , but none seem to be effective in hiding files in the explorer/file tree. I’ve included an image illustrating the problem.

Hey, I understand you want to hide all the files and folders you mentioned. To do this, you need to create a ⁠.vscode folder inside your project. In it, create a ⁠settings.json file and insert this:

"files.exclude": {
    "**/*.class": true,
    "**/*.so": true,
    "**/*.egg-info": true,
    "dist/": true,
    "build/": true,
    "eggs/": true
}
