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/`:

```text
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.

| System | VS Code globalStorage |
| --- | --- |
| macOS | `~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/globalStorage` |
| Windows | `%APPDATA%\Code\User\globalStorage` |
| Linux | `~/.config/Code/User/globalStorage` |

## Keep it

The History view exported a task to Markdown (`roo_task_<date>.md`). To keep everything, copy the `tasks` folder. Cline, which Roo Code was forked from, uses a similar layout. [Cline's storage](/agents/cline).
