    I used unity collab for a while for a project i've been running, now i check the files and its huge, theres meta files everywhere. Is this caused by collab or by unity?

    The meta files contain data used by the editor to e.g. reference assets (they are not referenced by path, but the GUIDs in meta files). They are created by Unity and you should not remove them.

    EDIT: If you have never seen them before, they are probably been hidden. You can modify this setting in Edit/ProjectSettings/Editor. There's version control mode.
