Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

When attempting to delete agents that have been previously used, the deletion process appears to succeed, but the agents reappear in the interface after a refresh or restart of the IDE. This prevents users from permanently removing unused or unwanted agents.

Steps to Reproduce

Open Cursor IDE.
Navigate to the agents panel or list.
Select a previously used agent.
Click the delete option.
Confirm deletion.
Refresh the IDE or restart it.
Observe that the deleted agent reappears in the list.

Expected Behavior

After deleting an agent, it should be permanently removed from the list and not reappear after a refresh or restart of the IDE.

Hey, this is a known bug where deleted chats and agent sessions come back after a restart. It affects many users on 3,0.x.

The team is aware, and a fix is already ready. It should ship in the next update after v3,0.16. For now, we just need to wait for the update.

Let me know if it still happens after you update.
