Task

Find orphaned .meta files in the Unity project: $ARGUMENTS

What

Detect .meta files in Assets/ and Packages/ whose corresponding file or folder no longer exists. Unity generates a .meta file for every asset — when the asset is deleted but the .meta remains, Unity logs warnings and the stale .meta pollutes the repository.

When

Use when you need to:

1. Find .meta files left behind after file/folder deletions
2. Diagnose Unity warnings like "A meta data file (.meta) exists but its folder/asset can't be found"
3. Clean up after git operations (branch switch, merge, rebase) that may leave orphaned .meta files

How

Step 1: Run the detection script
