There are easily more than 10 modules above which I have never used - but it is getting unloaded. How do you trim these modules from getting into exe (and loaded)? I have disabled all plugins in the project settings, and have checked the plugins which may have used the ‘unused’ plugins, but to no avail. It is still the same number of modules being unloaded (72)
