public static void UnloadAsset(Object assetToUnload)

Parameters

assetToUnload

Object
The asset to unload.

Remarks

This function can only be called on Assets that are stored on disk.
The referenced asset (assetToUnload) will be unloaded from memory. The object will become invalid and can't be loaded back from disk. Any subsequently loaded Scenes or assets that reference the asset on disk will cause a new instance of the object to be loaded from disk. This new instance will not be connected to the previously unloaded object.
