### Describe the Bug This seems to be more of an issue with a specific project than with Cursor specifically. Cursor was functioning perfectly and suddenly stopped responding. Got the Window Not Responding warning. Closed and quit. Restarted. Condition still persists. Opened a different project and Cursor is working as expected. ### Steps to Reproduce This condition only persists with a particular project. Did I reach some kind of limit with this particular project? It doesn’t seem that heavy. ### Expected Behavior Expected continued functionality. ### Screenshots / Screen Recordings ![Screenshot 2025-06-14 at 12.44.15 PM.png](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/3X/c/b/cbace68fc4bcb161528061fe66a37d4351f03069.png) ### Operating System MacOS ### Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy) Version: 1.1.2 VSCode Version: 1.96.2 Commit: 87ea1604be1f602f173c5fb67582e647fcef6c40 Date: 2025-06-13T00:26:52.696Z Electron: 34.5.1 Chromium: 132.0.6834.210 Node.js: 20.19.0 V8: 13.2.152.41-electron.0 OS: Darwin x64 24.5.0 ### Does this stop you from using Cursor Yes - Cursor is unusable ---

The error happens because your chat has grown to the point where the app cant handle it. Backup your chat and start a new chat and it will go away. ---

… thx, @jokerfool… I guess my chat had grown without my really paying much attention to it! Is there a Backup Chat command? ---

Same problem here. How do you delete the chat history or duplicate the project folder and open it in cursor if you can’t open cursor? Is there a file I can get into and delete? ---

Hey, you can simply rename your folder directly from the file system without needing to open Cursor, and you can also move the folder to another location on your drive. Additionally, you can delete the history by navigating to this path and sorting the folders by modification date. Choose the one that was used recently, you can delete it or save a backup just in case: ```auto Windows: %APPDATA%\Cursor\User\workspaceStorage macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Cursor/User/workspaceStorage Linux: ~/.config/Cursor/User/workspaceStorage ``` ---

Hi! I have a very important chat history that seems to be too large and is causing Cursor to freeze. I read the suggestion to delete or back up the folder under `workspaceStorage`, and I already backed it up. My question is: **is there any way to reopen or recover that specific chat later without crashing Cursor again?** Can I maybe extract or re-import that conversation somehow, or is it just lost because of the size? Thanks in advance! ---

> [@deanrie](#): > > `%APPDATA%\Cursor\User\workspaceStorage` Can you pin it? After nearly 100 workspace, I can’t open the app normally 🙂 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/3X/a/c/aca049acfc30c1d59f64e92388bc973851939f0c.png) ---
