I have a large Unity project and I want to put the source code online. I tried to do it in GitHub but I am out of quota for LFS, so I decided to just zip the project folder and put it on the cloud. Before I do this, I would like to make the folder as small as possible. What files can I delete from the project folder, such that anyone who downloads the remaining files will be able to use my project?

\$\begingroup\$ I can't quite remember the details, but you should be able to delete any saved folders or intermediates for C# database files \$\endgroup\$Natalo77– Natalo772020-05-05 14:03:49 +00:00Commented May 5, 2020 at 14:03

The standard Unity .gitignore file shows what files and folders should not be committed to git and can therefore be deleted.

The big one is the /Library folder, and of course any folder that contains build outputs.
