Past Agent Suggestions Won't Go Away (Even when I ask nicely)

[Stephen-S-H (Stephen Sazdanoff-Haynes)]

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Past “Undo/Keep” Agent suggestions show up in the IDE for files and I want to be able to clear them ALL at once.

Last week I ran hundreds of Agents in a half-automated feature building spree (it worked great, but thats not the point). This has left my Cursor with 300 files full of agent changes, 50,000 lines of code were added and 5,000 removed. Most of these file Agent Review requests are still there, even though I’ve closed and cleared the agents, restarted Cursor, and Reloaded the Window.

How do I clear the backlog of Agent suggestions requiring review? Its breaking Cursor for me with Git. I committed all these changes without manually accepting them, and now when I open the project the Agent suggestions pop up and trick Git into thinking that there are changes in these files, when it is only the Cursor Agent Review. If I go in and select “Keep File” then git no longer thinks there are differences in the file from the current branch.

I have this issue on both my accounts, only I really accelerated the issue with this big Agent batch. My normal workflow I don’t bother to manually approve changes sometimes, and this backlog of changes awaiting my review seems to grow and grow.

I’m using a Workspace with multiple Repos, that might be related.

I haven’t tried uninstalling and re-installing Cursor yet, but it feels like that is the next step.

How can I clear this change/review cache in bulk?

Steps to Reproduce

Get a ton of agents to make changes to your repo but don’t review or approve any of it, then commit all those changes to git.

Look at all the changes that keep painting your code green and red from old Agents you don’t remember that won’t go away without manually clicking them all.

At this point I usually put my head in my hands and let out a long pained groan. Cursor has speech control now so you may want to check that. Afterwards I do my best to press forward and ignore the issue while simultaneously making it worse by repeating the same behaviour, including groans, and occasionally exasperated huffs or sighs.

Expected Behavior

If I close the Agent, the Undo/Keep review for that agent should disappear. I don’t want to be asked to Keep changes from an agent that ran three weeks ago that I kept without reviewing.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Sometimes - I can sometimes use Cursor

Hey, thanks for the detailed report.

This is a known issue. Review diffs don’t sync with Git and can pile up over time. There are already a few threads about it:

• AI Agent file review list accumulates stale files and doesn’t sync with git status
• Reset internal history (keep seeing changes even though all is committed)

A couple of workarounds that have helped other users:

1. Close the specific chats that created those reviews. Sometimes this resets the diffs tied to them.
2. Rename the file → fully close Cursor → reopen → rename it back. This works, but with 300 files I get that it’s not practical.
3. Make a small change in the file, then stage + commit it. Sometimes that “wakes up” the Keep All button.

Unfortunately, there’s no bulk clear option yet, and yeah, it’s really inconvenient at this scale.

The team is aware, and your report helps with prioritization, especially given the scope (300 files, multi-repo workspace). There’s no ETA for a fix yet, but we’re tracking it.

If you try the workarounds, let me know how it goes.
