Make it easy to delete user settings

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The first time I was trying out Cursor I imported my settings from VSCode and set the default keymappnigs to vim. I would now like to reset all of my user preferences and start over with a fresh install of Cursor. I am not able to easily do this.

Describe the solution you'd like I think it would be useful to have an accessible menu option for clearing all user preferences and restoring the start screen as if it was a fresh install.

Additional context If there is a manual option to clear all user settings, please point me in that direction. Thank you.

What's the current way to reset the settings?

I do not think there is an existing way to reset the settings.

@DexterAntonio, You can clear all your local Cursor data by deleting the following folder:

  • Mac: rm ~/Library/Application\ Support/Cursor and rm ~/.cursor
  • Windows: rd -r %UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\Cursor\Cache
  • On Linux: rm -rf ~/.cursor ~/.config/Cursor/
