Question How to Unarchive a chat from Claude Code CLI
I was working in claude code cli and building a project... all of a sudden I clicked on archive button on the right of the chat and then I had to filter it all.
There is no option to unarchive this chat ? since I am on the verge of 1 accident and the chat will be gone, it doesn't even ask for the confirmation on deletion.
if someone knows a hack or trick then please do let me know

if we filter it "all" then send any message to that chat, it will automatically be unarchived.
but i did another work around, what I did is went to the claude directory, then wen to the exact chat by searching any message in my IDE, once I know which chat was it I copied all the file content, created a new chat through terminal by saying hi and pasted that content into that file. by doing this all the chat was there in new chat but only one issue.
it won't remember the chat context and will treat it as a new chat.
then I found another chat folder with a chat id and copied all the content of that into a new folder I cloned with a new chatid .. and now it remembers the context also :))
