| Type                                                          | Description                                                                                                                                 |
| ------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [bool](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.boolean) | Returns true if all assets in paths have successfully been deleted, false if any of the specified paths don't exist or couldn't be removed. |

### Remarks

Paths should be relative to the project folder, for example: "Assets/MyTextures/hello.png"

This should be used instead of [AssetDatabase.DeleteAsset](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityeditor/assetdatabase/deleteasset.md) for performance reasons when opearating on many assets at once with active version control integration.

Note that the speedup will only be present when using Asset Database v2.
