Describe the Bug
In the middle of a session (using Cursor Projects) the project suddenly disappeared. No error, no dialog, nothing. Gone are also all agents. Both in the IDE and on cursor.com/agents. Cannot find the sessions or project context anywhere. I can see the history of the previous sessions in the repo and one failed agent session today.

Hey @Mattias_Holmqvist, thanks for the report. I checked this and can confirm that nothing was deleted.

Your project was archived from Cursor on your Mac at around 21:58 Stockholm time, roughly 10 minutes before you posted. Archiving a Project hides it and its agents from the Agents Window sidebar and cursor.com/agents, but everything remains intact, including agents that were still running.

To restore it:

  1. In the Agents Window sidebar, open the filter menu next to the list header. If you see a standalone archive icon there, click that instead.
  2. Turn on Archived.
  3. Find the project, then hover over it and click Unarchive, or right-click it and select Unarchive.
  4. Turn Archived off again to return to your normal list.

Let me know if the Project does not appear under Archived. Here’s a couple screenshots to demo:
