i ran the rm -rf commands from this thread’s solution:
but it removed my prompt history. I am hoping to warn parople about this but the thread is closed. Any way a mod can help save people from this mistake? Was not fun loosing all my prompt history.

Hi @bj97301 understand that could be frustrating. The rm -rf solution does appear to be extreme. I recommend using this option instead:
command + shift + p to bring up the command palette and search for “Developer: Delete Old Chats” then you can enter a number, e.g. 30 to keep all chats newer than 30 days and delete that chats older than 30 days. So it’s a good middleground between cleaning things up and preserving your chats.
the problem isnt that only some of my history got removed, ideally i wouldnt have to remove any of my chat history to make cursor not super slow. But if we have to remove hisotyr to get cursor to be performant then you should warn people that the rm -rf cache commands will remove all of their chat history.
