Do you delete Asset Bundles before build?

Hey,

My game contains asset bundles that I generated into files.

Now, when I want to build my game I obviously don't need these assets to be part of the build.

How do you handle that? Do.you delete them?

 

you mean the assetbundle files?
In my case i build them outside the Asset Folders.

You can also have resources folder inside editor folder that dont go inside the build.

btw, if im not wrong, if the assets are not references they dont go inside the build. i may be wrong here, but if you have a folder called AssetsBundles/mybundle and have no reference, then it wont be inside the buid.

 

Ideally you should generate your bundles outside the assets folder, specially if they are not supposed to be distributed with your builds (downloaded later, for example). Bundles that you are going to distribute should go into the StreamingAssets folder.

Deleting bundles negates one of the biggest advantages of using bundles in the first place: Unity will (usually) not rebuild a bundle of the assets in it haven't changed, reducing build times.
