assets-delete

name	assets-delete
description	Delete the assets at the given project paths. Refreshes the AssetDatabase at the end. Use 'assets-find' to locate the assets first.

Assets / Delete

Delete the assets at paths from the project. Does AssetDatabase.Refresh() at the end. Use 'assets-find' tool to find assets before deleting.

Inputs

• paths — project-relative asset paths to delete. Must be non-empty.

Behavior

Routes through AssetDatabase.DeleteAssets, which deletes the batch atomically. Paths Unity reports as failed are surfaced in response.Errors; successfully deleted paths are surfaced in response.DeletedPaths. The tool is destructive (removes files from disk).

How to Call

unity-mcp-cli run-tool assets-delete --input '{
  "paths": "string_value"
}'

For complex input (multi-line strings, code), save the JSON to a file and use:

unity-mcp-cli run-tool assets-delete --input-file args.json

Or pipe via stdin (recommended):

unity-mcp-cli run-tool assets-delete --input-file - <<'EOF'
{"param": "value"}
EOF

Troubleshooting

If unity-mcp-cli is not found, either install it globally (npm install -g unity-mcp-cli) or use npx unity-mcp-cli instead. Read the /unity-initial-setup skill for detailed installation instructions.
