Lost Chat After Update

Support Bug Reports

Hey, I’m really sorry to hear you lost your chat history. I totally get how frustrating that is after 2 weeks of work.

There’s still a chance you can recover it. The data might still be in local storage:

  • Find this folder: ~/Library/Application Support/Cursor/User/workspaceStorage/
  • Each subfolder is a separate project. Open state.vscdb using DB Browser for SQLite
  • Search for keys like workbench.panel.aichat.view... or workbench.panel.composerChatViewPanel...
  • Also check ~/.cursor/projects/<project_name>/agent-transcripts. You might find .txt files with the history there

For the future, I’d recommend installing the SpecStory extension for automatic chat backups.

Let me know if you manage to recover anything.
