Roo Code, a fork of Cline, was discontinued on May 15, 2026. Its task history stays wherever VS Code keeps extension data.

Where the files are

In VS Code's globalStorage folder, under RooVeterinaryInc.roo-cline/tasks/:

tasks/
├── _index.json
└── <taskId>/
    ├── api_conversation_history.json
    ├── ui_messages.json
    ├── task_metadata.json
    └── history_item.json

The setting roo-cline.customStoragePath may have moved it. Each task tracks tokens and cost.
