Hi,

Does org-id ever remove deleted items from
~/.emacs.d/.org-id-locations?

I did find the function org-id-update-id-locations, which definitely
compacts the locations file. I haven't verified if this actually
removes items, or merely reorganizes the list to be stored more
efficiently.

A curious thing about that function -- if duplicate IDs are found, it
says to check the Messages buffer, but Messages is full of lines like:

Finding ID locations (659/674 files): ~/Documents/mobileorg/semester.org
Finding ID locations (660/674 files): ~/Documents/mobileorg/semester.org
Finding ID locations (661/674 files): ~/Documents/mobileorg/semester.org
Finding ID locations (662/674 files): ~/Documents/mobileorg/semester.org
Finding ID locations (663/674 files): ~/Documents/mobileorg/semester.org

Since older entries are removed from Messages, these lines caused the
duplicate ID info to be lost.

Thanks.
