Claude Code uses $HOME environment variable to determine session storage location. If $HOME is incorrect, sessions go to wrong directory or disappear.
| "No conversations found" | Wrong HOME variable | Verify $HOME matches expected user directory | | Sessions in /tmp/ | HOME set incorrectly | Fix HOME in shell profile, restart terminal | | Session files missing | Disk space or permissions | Check /.claude/projects/ permissions and disk |
| Wrong project sessions shown | Path encoding mismatch | Check encoded path matches current working directory | | Sessions not persisting | File system issues | Verify write permissions to /.claude/projects/ | | IDE sessions separate | Different HOME per environment | Ensure consistent HOME across terminal and IDE |
