What's Wrong?

Running Help --> Troubleshooting --> Delete Cowork VM Sessions and Restart deletes way more than sessions. You will lose not just Cowork chat and scheduled task run sessions, but also all your Projects, Connections, Scheduled Tasks, Memory, and more.

What Should Happen?

Delete only the Cowork chat and scheduled task sessions, don't delete all the Projects, Plugin Configurations, etc...

Error Messages/Logs

Steps to Reproduce

I Cowork create projects, scheduled tasks, configure skills, etc, run a bunch of the scheduled tasks to create a run history, and each run of the task I was assuming was a session. Then run Help --> Troubleshooting --> Delete Cowork VM Sessions and Restart. You are going to lose everything you just configured, not just all the cowork chat and scheduled tasks sessions.

Additional Information

This may not be a bug, but when I think of sessions, I think of them as Chat Sessions or Scheduled task run sessions. I was not expecting Projects, Scheduled Tasks, Plugin Configurations, etc... to all get wiped. If this works as expected, then I would recommend rethinking how that menu option is worded. Renaming it to "Wipe Everything in Cowork and Restart" would better describe what it does.
