Trash
Manage deleted assets with the Trash feature to prevent accidental deletions and simplify asset recovery across projects.
Read time 1 minuteLast updated a year ago
The Unity Asset Manager Trash feature lets you delete assets or datasets in a flexible manner, so no valuable data is permanently lost without the option to recover it. You can send assets to Trash, restore them, or permanently delete them.
Delete assets
You can delete a single asset or multiple assets at once. You can delete assets from an individual project, a collection, or from multiple projects through the All Assets page.
When deleted, an asset remains in Trash for 30 days before permanent deletion. If the asset belongs to multiple projects, it remains available in all other projects except the one it was deleted from.
Note
Assets in Trash still count toward your organization's storage quota, until they are permanently deleted.
Restore assets
You can restore assets from the Trash to a project's active folder within 30 days of deletion. Assets can only be restored to the original project they were deleted from.
If you’re a Contributor with access, you can restore assets to any project you have access to. You can restore assets individually or in batches.
Permanently delete assets
Assets are automatically and permanently deleted 30 days after being placed in the Trash of the last project they belonged to. You can also manually delete assets permanently from the Trash. You can't restore these assets.
Note
When the Link asset references toggle is turned off, assets moved using the Move action bypass the Trash and are permanently deleted from the original project.
