Kilocode takes up a lot of disk space

[RSO]

This was reported to us through our support inbox:

Good afternoon!

Loving Kilocode (thank you). However, I'm not loving how much of my disk space is being eaten up by this extension. Anything I should be adjusting in settings somewhere?

94.5% of my VSCode "Application Support" directory is attributed to Kilocode's files

From looking into this further, it seems that we store checkpoints for every task, which basically is a copy of the .git folder. This adds up quickly, especially when you're working in large git repositories.

Likely an upstream bug, too, I guess?

But yeah, that's a pretty crazy methodology.

Also upstream indeed.

@kevinvandijk @RSO What can we suggest to our users as a workaround? How to clean it up the best way?

[RSO]

I'm afraid that the only way to clean this up right now is to delete the older folders by hand 😬. @kevinvandijk is planning on a better fix, but that's going to take some time, I'm afraid.

It should be safe to simply delete everything in tasks folder, right?

[EamonNerbonne]

yep!
