    I did a quick build and noticed some files that are not used, are included into the build, is this intended?

    Or am i just accidentally referencing it?

    Hi @Say-Chimp ,

    Could you be more specific? What files are you referring too?

    For example, if i include a prefab in the package, under the runtime folder.
    But the prefab is not used in any of the scene.

    Will it be added into the build as well?

    Oh, I see, you are talking about code :) Maybe this documentation page will help you understand how Unity is stripping managed code in build and what you can do to tweak the process to your need? Everything in this document applies to sources in packages.

    If you need more info, don't' hesitate to reply here or open a new question in the scripting forum.

    Regards,
