Cursor stores more than your project files. Workspaces can create indexes, extension caches, and crash logs that accumulate silently. The total varies by Cursor version, enabled features, and workload, so measure the folders on your own Mac instead of relying on a generic storage estimate.
Workspace metadata can contain valuable state. Do not classify indexes, logs or workspace data as disposable without checking the current version and your own workflow. Back up important contents; recovery and regeneration are not guaranteed.
Inspect the data before removing anything
Do not delete the entire Cursor folder. First identify the owning application, contents and purpose. Similar names or a large size do not establish that a folder is disposable. Record your macOS, Cursor and AI Agent Clean versions and the date of your own check. This reference is not a test report for your installed build.
Find and inspect Cursor data
- Quit Cursor before inspecting files you may later change.
- In Finder, use Go to Folder and enter
~/Library/Application Support/Cursor. - Inspect sizes and contents. An absent folder can mean a different version or storage location, not a permission failure.
| Category | What to check | Boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Cache and Code Cache | Confirm ownership and current-version behavior. | Some data may regenerate; no universal deletion guarantee. |
| Logs | Keep records needed for troubleshooting. | May contain useful or sensitive diagnostic data. |
| User, workspaceStorage, sessions, settings, credentials and projects | Understand the purpose and keep a backup. | Do not classify as disposable cache from the name alone. |
Do not use wildcard matches such as com.todesktop.* as a removal instruction. Folder names alone are insufficient evidence of ownership.
Use a scan as a review aid
AI Agent Clean can expose supported items for review. Check each category, path and consequence yourself; keep uncertain entries. Grant only the access requested for the task. An empty result alone does not mean Full Disk Access is missing. Supported tool versions and accessible data vary.
Check the result and recovery limits
If you decide to remove an item after inspection, back up important data first and prefer a reversible process. Check projects, settings and sessions afterward. Do not empty Trash before confirming what you need. Restoration and regeneration are not guaranteed.
Why has free space not changed?
Items in Trash still occupy space. Open files, snapshots and the timing of the storage display can also matter. Check the actual cause instead of expecting a fixed number of gigabytes. Moving data to Trash and permanently freeing space are different outcomes.
Compatibility, cost and help
AI Agent Clean is for macOS 14 or later. Scanning remains free; paid actions require an eligible plan. Check current prices and trial eligibility in the Mac App Store. A translated website does not establish an App, AI or support language. See help and pricing before purchase.
