    Hello everyone!
    Since 5.3, when I start Unity, "Standard Assets Example Project" shows up as a project.
    Do you know if it is safe to delete "Standard Assets Example Project" in Users/Shared/Unity/?
    Or will this delete the standard assets, too?
    I don't really want it to show up in the projects selection window and it takes up about 640 MB, too, which I might not need.

    Many thanks in advance,
    Greetings,
    Shu

    I never install them when I install a new version of Unity, if I do need one of the assets I get it from the assets store
    and import only the ones I need for the current project I'm working on (if I need any) saves
    space.

    Yes, it's ok to delete the sample project if your currently not using any thing from it in your own projects.. ;)
    If your trying to save HD space it's a good place to start..

    Thanks for your answer! I'm not sure why I installed this, maybe I got confused with the new installation setup that has been introduced with 5.3. But as it isn't required, I will delete it now. :D
