Hey, yes, I think that’s enough. Have you tried reinstalling Cursor?

I reinstalled multiple times all app data still there. I created a new user in mac. Is there a clean uninstall method? I suggest for the FAQ on cursor rather than referring to the fact that one should delete app data include specific instructions which work for each type of device. thanks.

That’s quite strange because deleting these two folders should have removed all Cursor data. Here’s a guide:
