File Build Q - what about the unused assets?

When you build your game, does Unity only includes assets that are used in the game? When you export a unity package, it goes through and checks dependencies and only includes what you use in the scene in the unity package.

When you create a game, many times there are other scenes (WIP scenes), extra assets/prefabs/scripts that you may not use in the final game, will Unity only include assets that are used in the game? Or it just includes everything (including those extra assets that you are not using?)

In order to shrink the file size, is it a good practice to delete things out of the Project folder that you are not using? Thanks for your help.

 

I'm fairly certain Unity checks which files are used and only builds these into the game build.
So deleting unused scenes and the like should'nt be necessary

 

You can see in the editor log what's included after a build. Only referenced objects are included, except for the Resources folder.

I believe that is a Pro only feature though, right?

 

What is, the Resources folder? No. Not the editor log either.

Thanks for all your help

 

I meant the resource stripping feature. I know it is Pro only for hte mobile addons... Not sure for the PC/Mac version though.
