//Note: When moving many Assets to trash and using version control integration it's better to use MoveAssetsToTrash method for performance reasons public class AssetDatabaseExamples : MonoBehaviour { [MenuItem("AssetDatabase/Move All Files In Folder To Trash")] static void MoveAllFilesInFolderToTrash() { string[] unusedFolder = { "Assets/Unused" }; foreach (var asset in AssetDatabase.FindAssets("", unusedFolder)) { var path = AssetDatabase.GUIDToAssetPath(asset); AssetDatabase.MoveAssetToTrash(path); } } }
