Delete specific downloaded asset bundles

Is there a way to delete individual downloaded assets from the device? Caching.ClearCache(); deletes all data in the cache but I would like to offer the user a way to delete individual assets using the label to regain disk space.

 

We don't have this yet, but I'm adding it as a feature request, as I like the idea.

 

We are having an issue with IOS not updating. It functions when we do a build content but when we update the content with addressables it continues to only load previous elements. Same procedure with android functions properly but not with IOS. This seems like that would be a great way to force it to work.

 

Thanks! That would be great!

 

Hello,

Any news on how to clear a specific asset bundle ?

 

Ok so for anyone wondering I tried to fight with the classes a bit, and even if Caching class only lets you delete every asset bundles at once, I achieved deleting only the ones I wanted :

Code (CSharp):

1. string path = Caching.GetCacheAt(0).path + "/" + bundleName

this returns the path of a Directory that represents your assetBundle. In my app, all of the assetsbundles seems to be in the cached folder at index 0.

Then you just:

Code (CSharp):

1. Directory.Delete(path, true)

It deletes the datas and directory linked to the asset bundle, but there's an error caught because Unity tries to delete a "locked" file (_lock), that actually disappears at the next application start.

This doesn't seem really rigorous but it's working for now so it can be a temporary solution while we are provided a way to delete asset bundles independently in cache.

 

Have you tried Caching.ClearAllCachedVersions?

 

I did, but I think I can't manage to find the "real" name of the bundle to clear. Everytime I tried it said it succeded but my bundle was still here.
People who used it seemed to have similar issues, are we doing something wrong ?

 

Any news on this? Im having similar issued where If i use the Directory.Delete, it will delete it, but when i try to download them again, it cannot find the assetbundle

 

I coudn't test it fully yet, but the new function Addressables.ClearDependencyCacheAsync("YourAddressablesKey") deletes the cached files of the given key. Just be sure to release all used Assets with Addressables.Release(YourAsset) before.

 

Is there any example?
I do Addressables.Release(YourAddressablesKey) before but still show bundle in use.
Can you help me?
