Delete unused assets files

We can do but we can’t. Let’s me explain
This will don’t has been done. Because all assets are not necessarily in the project file.

If you create a sprite object, you put an image that is on the desktop, the link will go to the desktop.
If you delete the image from the desktop, GD will no longer find it.

Files stay where you get it.
None of files is copy in your project folder.
You have this warning when you use a files outside your project folder

First of all, the image should be copied for import into the game folder. But even that’s still under discussion.

hi, maybe what will be usefull is that when compiling unused resources weren’t added to the final compiled program, but I think it won’t be easy.
Meanwhile you could have resources for furute enacements and they will be deleted if they are not still in code
