When I open a document with “Linked (Remote)” resources, where do the resources ‘end up’ when I load the document?

Are they just in memory or do they get saved on my hard drive somewhere in some kind of 'offline cache'?

If they get saved to my hard drive, how do I remove them?

(I’ve looked in the Help, and tried searching the forums for various combinations of linked , resource and/or remote , but couldn’t find anything relevant.)

Selecting one of them in the Resource Manager should show you its local location.

The "Linked (Remote)" resources will be read from where they are. 

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 
Affinity Designer 2.6.0 | Affinity Photo 2.6.0 | Affinity Publisher 2.6.0 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

I don’t seem to have a:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Affinity\Publisher\2.0\temp 
...folder (I have one for 1.0 though), but I can find a:
C:\Users\USERNAME\.affinity\Publisher\2.0\Temp\AffinityDownloadCache
...folder instead, which is empty apart from a “Files.json” file, which is only 1KB.

I don’t have the document open and don’t want to open it again.
Basically I want to clear my machine of whatever was in that document, if I need to and can do so.

Thanks, but I asked where they ‘end up’, on my machine, not where they came from.
Maybe I didn't make myself clear enough.

They don't really 'end up' anywhere.

Hence the missing resources when you move the actual file so I don't think it get's cached anywhere.
And also why the cloud and external storage don't work as the link get's lost when the connection is lost.

That sort of makes sense to me now that you mention it.

I can’t find any large files that aren't mine in the 'hidden' folders that I can find so I’ll just assume that the linked remote resources are only in stored memory, unless anyone tells me otherwise.

That’s pretty much the answer to the question I asked in my original post after the question you quoted earlier, i.e.

I think I’m over my initial worry now.
