Script / Delete

Delete the script file(s). Does AssetDatabase.Refresh() and waits for Unity compilation to complete before reporting results. Use 'script-read' tool to read existing script files first.

Inputs

• files — non-empty array of .cs paths. Every entry must exist on disk.
• requestId — required for the processing/delivered-later contract.

Behavior

Validates the array (non-empty, every entry ends with .cs, every entry exists). Deletes each file plus its sibling .meta (when present). Calls AssetDatabase.Refresh and schedules a post-compilation notification — the final response is delivered after Unity finishes the recompile triggered by the delete.

How to Call

unity-mcp-cli run-tool script-delete --input '{
  "files": "string_value"
}'

For complex input (multi-line strings, code), save the JSON to a file and use:

unity-mcp-cli run-tool script-delete --input-file args.json

Or pipe via stdin (recommended):

unity-mcp-cli run-tool script-delete --input-file - <<'EOF'
{"param": "value"}
EOF

Troubleshooting

If unity-mcp-cli is not found, either install it globally (npm install -g unity-mcp-cli) or use npx unity-mcp-cli instead. Read the /unity-initial-setup skill for detailed installation instructions.
