UAssetManager::RemoveScanPathsForPrimaryAssets

function Engine Since unknown

#include "Engine/AssetManager.h"

Access: public Specifiers: virtual

Description

Removes primary assets found under the given paths from the asset directory, undoing a prior ScanPathsForPrimaryAssets call. Does not delete the underlying asset files.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Removes directory entries only — it does not delete or unload the underlying asset files or objects.
• Paths, BaseClass, and bHasBlueprintClasses must match what was originally passed to ScanPathsForPrimaryAssets or the matching assets won't be found for removal.

Signature

virtual void RemoveScanPathsForPrimaryAssets(FPrimaryAssetType PrimaryAssetType, const TArray<FString>& Paths, UClass* BaseClass, bool bHasBlueprintClasses, bool bIsEditorOnly = false);
