How to Remove Animation Clip in Unity

 

To remove an animation clip in Unity, you'll need to use the Animation window or the Animator Controller window, depending on where the animation clip is currently associated. Here are the steps for both scenarios:

Removing an Animation Clip from the Animation Window:

1. Open the Animation window by going to Window > Animation in the Unity Editor.
2. In the Animation window, select the GameObject or Animator Controller that contains the animation clip you want to remove. This will display the animation clip(s) associated with that object or controller.
3. In the Animation window, you will see a list of animation clips. Find the animation clip you want to remove.
4. Right-click on the animation clip's name in the list. This will open a context menu.
5. From the context menu, select "Remove Animation Clip."
6. Confirm the removal in the pop-up dialog if prompted.

Removing an Animation Clip from the Animator Controller:

1. Open the Animator Controller window by double-clicking on an Animator Controller asset in your project's Assets folder or by selecting an Animator component on a GameObject and clicking the "Open Animator" button in the Inspector.
2. In the Animator Controller window, find the animation layer that contains the animation clip you want to remove. Each layer can have its own set of animation clips.
3. Within the animation layer, locate the State or Sub-State that uses the animation clip you want to remove. It will be represented as a node in the Animator Controller window.
4. Right-click on the State or Sub-State node that uses the animation clip.
5. From the context menu, select "Remove Animation Clip" or "Remove Transition." The specific option may vary depending on your Unity version and the type of animation you are trying to remove.
6. Confirm the removal in the pop-up dialog if prompted.

Please note that removing an animation clip will permanently delete it from your project. Make sure you have a backup or are certain that you want to remove the clip before confirming the removal.



Also, be cautious when removing animation clips from Animator Controllers, as this can affect the behavior of your animations and transitions. Ensure that you understand how your animations are structured in the Animator Controller and how the removal will impact your game's logic.
