Thanks for reporting! I am not using tramp regularly and I did not think about this use case. > I wonder if there is some mechanism I could use to either prevent caching of > non-local documents or to avoid the check on existence in the org-persist-gc. I can easily make a change that always garbage-collect non-local documents without trying to connect to remote server. This can be one solution of your problem. However, I am not sure if it is the best solution. May I know more about your use cases? Do you frequently open large remote Org files? If you do, trashing their cache may not be optimal. Maybe we should better make this a user option? Or we can go a different route and just not garbage collect remote files until cache gets too large. WDYT? Best, Ihor
