.meta files having GUID errors

Hello!

I am having issues importing packages into Unity, any file that is imported or created gets a GUID error where you need to delete the .meta files.

I have already tried:

  • Deleting the meta files, Unity recreates them and the GUID errors come back just as they were before
  • Reinstalling Unity Hub and Unity 2019.4.31f1
  • Remaking the Unity project
  • Reinstalling Unity without Unity Hub
  • Reimporting the packages and assets

I attached a screenshot of those errors, it seems to happen to every file in the project, it is a freshly created project too.

Which version of Burst?
I can imagine you may be trying to use a version of the Burst package that isn‘t compatible with Unity 2019.
Or the downloaded Burst package is corrupt. You could try redownloading it, which may require manually deleting it from the package cache (somewhere under AppData, location is documented in the manual).

Since I see nothing else indicating that this is a project that‘s been worked on for years I suggest you upgrade to a modern version of Unity. 2019 is no longer supported, does not receive any updates, and may (eventually) fail to produce publishable builds for closed platforms.
