@bassamanator does running application: clear project history solve the issue?

Your case is a rare case. I think the file that stores the project history has become corrupted for some reason.

⚠️ the following removes the cache completely (if the above command does not fix it):

If you really want to clean all the Atom cache you should remove these folders: Windows

C:\Users\yourname\.atom\.node-gyp
C:\Users\yourname\.atom\storage
C:\Users\yourname\.atom\.apm
C:\Users\yourname\.atom\.npm
C:\Users\yourname\.atom\compile-cache
C:\Users\yourname\.atom\snapshot-cache
C:\Users\yourname\.atom\atom-shell
C:\Users\yourname\.atom\electron
C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Local\Temp\atom-build
C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Local\Temp\atom-cached-atom-shells

Linux:

~/.atom/.node-gyp
~/.atom/storage
~/.atom/.apm
~/.atom/.npm
~/.atom/compile-cache
~/.atom/snapshot-cache
~/.atom/atom-shell
~/.atom/electron

Just had to disable the autocomplete-paths package for Atom to work normally
