The short answer
Yes. Rebuilt or re-downloaded automatically when needed.
What is it?
Cursor, the AI code editor built on VS Code, stores compiled code for faster start-up in ~/Library/Application Support/Cursor/CachedData, one folder per Cursor build. Frequent updates leave older folders behind. Typically a few hundred MB.
What happens if you delete it?
Cursor rebuilds the cache for the current version on its next start. No settings, chats or extensions are lost.
How to remove it properly
Quit Cursor, then move the folder to the Trash in Finder (Go › Go to Folder… ~/Library/Application Support/Cursor/CachedData).
Quit the app that uses it, then move it to the Trash. Empty the Trash when you’re sure.
