I’m working on my project using a remote ssh connection. Yesterday I opened cursor and all my composer and chat history wasn’t there. The settings, rules for ai, the opened editors I had and the state of git were all preserved as usual.
It seems that there’s a folder in my server’s file manager called ‘.cursor-server’, it seems that all my composer/chat history and the entire checkpoint history is still there in that folder, fully intact.
I reached out to the cursor team via email and was told that someone will reach out, it’s been 24 hours and I really need to get this sorted since my work was paused since the history disappeared - I really relied on the context that it contained…
Hey, we have seen reports that the OS of some users can delete the composer/chat history if the device they are stored on is running out of storage space.
Id recommend putting anything essential into a file in your codebase (the agent can help here!) so that if, for any reason, your history is deleted, you can carry on from where you left off much easier.
As I said in my post, the composer/chat history wasn’t deleted. My VPS didn’t run out of storage. The entire composer/chat history is fully intact and I can see it in my files. It was just unlinked from cursor.
Can I get help with linking it back to my cursor workspace?
Believe I have already replied to you elsewhere, but if for whatever reason the editor cannot see your history, I don’t believe this is currently recoverable - sorry!
