No error, no dialog, nothing. Gone are also all agents. Both in the IDE and on [cursor.com/agents](http://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. * * * **Steps to Reproduce** How can you reproduce this bug?

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](http://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: ![SCR-20260923-mydz](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/3X/6/0/603ad14571b84960d5de8e32373049977a64d4b6.webp) Unarchive button shown here in the top chat: ![SCR-20260923-mybu](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/3X/a/e/ae80861d19ff8487057a31b7d9f06aa8880be086.png)
