Assets Cleaner 2.0 has been released! (Only for 4.26 → 5.0+)
Completely rebuilt to be faster, more flexible and as easy to use as ever!
Market place link: https://www.unrealengine.com/marketp…989122c043ae21
Description:
When a project has been in development for a while, or after a period of prototyping, it is common to have a lot of leftover assets that are not used anymore.
These assets are taking up disk space, slowing the editor and build times down, and affecting build size.
Assets Cleaner is a simple tool that quickly** lists all unused assets** in a project and allow **managing them directly **from the tool, helping keep your project clean and lean.
Are you tired of having to manually migrate assets over to a new project whenever you want to delete assets you no longer use?
These days are over! Assets Cleaner takes care of it for you!
View, filter, search unused asset the same as in Content Browser
NEW: Include content from plugins
NEW: Automatically delete empty folders when deleting assets
Manage assets directly from the tool (Find in Content Browser, Find on Disk, Edit Assets, Delete Assets (using the editor’s Delete Assets window), Move Assets)
Quick access to editor’s asset tools: Reference Viewer (to view which other assets an asset uses), Size Map to easily see the size of assets, NEW: Audit Tool to get more detailed info specific to asset types
This tool requires UE 4.23 at least, are you using a specific version of the engine, is it the epic launcher version? Or a compiled version from GitHub or modified engine?
If you are able to go into your ProjectFolder\Saved\Logs and open the latest modified txt file in there, if you look around the end of the file there should be more details about the error, see if there is anything there
Or you can copy paste the end of the file here, or attach it so i can take a look?
After googling that error it looks like some people solved that problem by deleting the /intermediate /saved and /build folders, you could give that a try
Hi,
Firstly, my apology for messed up forum topic. It had to be in the support topic. I am using the standard epic launcher UE 4.23 version. Deleting those folders didn’t help. From log file:
0]LogWindows: Failed to load ‘C:/Program Files/Epic Games/UE_4.23/Engine/Plugins/Marketplace/AssetsCleaner/Binaries/Win64/UE4Editor-AssetsCleaner.dll’ (GetLastError=126)
0]LogWindows: Missing import: UE4Editor-AssetManagerEditor.dll
0]LogModuleManager: Warning: ModuleManager: Unable to load module ‘C:/Program Files/Epic Games/UE_4.23/Engine/Plugins/Marketplace/AssetsCleaner/Binaries/Win64/UE4Editor-AssetsCleaner.dll’ because the file couldn’t be loaded by the OS.
Is it possible the issue to be related to Windows version or something?
That is very strange,
It seems to complain about the AssetManagerEditor missing.
Did you disable it by any chance? It’s a plugin that comes with the editor and is usually enabled.
Try enabling it again (It’s in plugins-> Built-In -> Editor -> Asset Manager Editor) and restarting the editor.
If you cannot start your project because of the error, edit your .uproject file with notepad, in there you should see something like:
Set enabled to true, and restart the editor
If this doesn’t work, please send us an email at “unrealtoolshed at gmail dot com” and we’ll be able to help you out further on there.
Thank you very much! It was my mistake. I forgot, that at early stage of my project i disabled Asset Manager Editor, which is necessary for this plugin to work, obviously :). Everything is fine and perfect now.
Awesome!
Glad the problem is solved.
I have contacted Epic to find a way to prevent this from happening again, and I have submitted an update to the plugin that should fix the problem and prevent it from happening again
Thanks for letting me know, I hope you’ll find the tool useful
Better plugin dependencies handling (avoids situation where projects wouldn’t load if AssetRegistryEditor plugin was disabled, as seen a few comments above)
Thanks everyone for the support, I’ve been blown away by the reception on the marketplace!
Very excited to announce that Assets Cleaner tool has been selected as part of the Unreal Marketplace Showcase for the next 2 weeks!
To celebrate we’re having a 10% off sale for the duration of the showcase
Get in there and keep your projects clean and lean!
Update:
For anyone having crashes when opening levels after the tool had been opened, Epic just fixed the issue in 4.23.1
Please update the engine (no need to update the tool)
