Necessary to remove unused scripts from imported packages for deployment?

Questions & Answers

It looks like Unity compiles all scripts, even ones that are not referenced or used in any of the gameobjects in a scene/proj hierarchy. For example, if in an unused script, you declare a `enum GameStates`, and you declare it in a script you are using, an error like: "The namespace '' already contains a definition for 'GameStates'.

In that case, should unused scripts simply be removed from the project pane? Is there a way to put them in a folder (still accessible within the proj pane), so that they won't be compiled?

You do need to remove them. The only folder that I can think of that is not included in the final build is the editor folder, but it is probably easier just to remove them from the "Assets" folder entirely.
