    So the power went off in my house yesterday while I was working and as a result I cannot open a particular scene in my game. It says over and over:

    Unknown error occurred while loading 'library/metadata/4c/4c8726ba852776848a1deab3f686428d'.
    UnityEngine.GUIUtility:processEvent(Int32, IntPtr)

    Can I just delete the library folder and it will recreate it? or the metadata folder? or anything?

    Please help.

    Thanks

    Yes. It could take a while though depending on the size of your project.

    Just try right-click on the sceen file in the project window, and then choose the Reimport menu. It fixed the problem for me.

    Es viejo el tema, pero reimportar hizo que borrara de mi algunas cosas, no lo recomiendo, por suerte tenia una copia de seguridad

    Si tiene una copia de seguridad, elimine su carpeta Library de su proyecto, y copia y pegue Library de su copia de seguridad en su proyecto actual, eso resolvió para mi.
