What is the best way to remove an asset from my project?

As I understand, when you import an asset, sometimes it changes settings. What are the best practices fro removing assets? Are we supposed to just highlight the asset in the project window and delete it? Is there something more we should do?

 

Usually you'd just delete the asset from within Unity. If the asset is referenced anywhere else in your project, such as by a scene or a prefab, those references will then be null so you'll want to address that.
