🗺️Building Your Map

Better Delete uses a Dependency Map to understand how assets are connected inside your project.

Building the map ensures safer and smarter deletions.

This map tracks:

• Which assets are used by other assets

• Which assets are referenced inside scenes

• Which assets belong to Build Settings scenes

What Happens When You Build the Map?

When you click Build Map:

• Better Delete scans your project

• It analyzes asset relationships

• A cache file is generated and saved

This cache allows faster loading in the future.

Why Building the Map Is Important

Once the map is built, you can:

• ✅ Use the Dependency Window to view:

  • Used By (assets referencing the selected asset)

  • Dependencies (assets the selected asset relies on)

• 🚨 Receive alerts when trying to delete:

  • Assets used in scenes included in Build Settings

  • Critical references that may break your project

When Should You Rebuild?

Rebuild the map when:

• You import a large asset pack

• You delete many assets manually

• You restructure folders significantly

• You modify Build Settings scenes
