After adding random asset packages and using only 1-2 assets (out of ~50 from each one), I’d love the option to just remove everything without dependencies.
You never know when you may need restore or update an item you’ve spent money on. I would prefer the option to ‘Hide’ items on separate page I don’t want to see in my Library Vault instead of a permanent removal.
Please can we get something like this. Free content should have a “delete” option (since it is free and can always be added again if needed) and paid content should have a “hide” option.
Does anybody have update about this topic? i’m looking exactly these things, some “Hide” button or better some folders to group my packages in “VFX”, “realistic”, “nature” and other stuff
The Unreal Engine Vault should be more like a file browser in an operating system.
we really need folders to organize our marketplace vault, and a personal way to rank these products would be nice too. I would also like to be able to order the elements in these folders based on different criteria, like personal ranking, public ranking, oldest to newest, newest to oldest, alphabetical, reverse alphabetical, by category, etc… I want to be able to adjust thumbnail size and have these settings saved per folder.
Also the “Add To Project” and “Remove Local Content” buttons are bright yellow and extremely distracting when trying to read the names or look at tiny thumbnails. Why not just make them grey “+” and “-” symbols, which blend into the background, or maybe hide them in a right click menu? Putting the names under the thumbnails instead of off to the side would allow for way more information on the screen, with larger thumbnails.
I’ve just seen tons of UE learning content and I’ve added them to my library just to realize they’re not compatible with the new version and I can’t undo it. -_-
It is really sad, Epic tries to compete with steam, and yet they either cannot make intuitive and fast launcher, or they do not care.
Most of this functionality to hide and sort marketplace is almost same to what one would want for games library.
So no idea why it is not here yet. First year or so for epic store i could understand, that it is not priority when you just started. But now, that is not excuse anymore.
Trying to find out how to do this and a top Google search result is a link to this post which is almost 9 years old and yet, there STILL doesn’t seem to be an answer for this?
This is SUPER crazy. Deleting stuff from your Library should be SUPER simple. Heck, even having more filter and organization should be simple. It’s not something I can do, but I would think that people who do this for a living should be able to figure this out. Not sure how Unreal Engine has somehow gotten to photorealistic graphics, but can’t do basic File/Folder management functions. We should not have to even DO a search for these things..
I have decided to download the latest version of UE and uninstall all previous versions, therefore 99% of the assets I have will not work, which is fine. But now i have 69 gig of assets that I can’t delete. Where on my computer are they? Can I just delete them off my HD?
