### Examples

```csharp
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEditor;

//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);
        }
    }
}
