Question is, how can I remove the unused DLL’s from the build to reduce size? Thanks.

The Unity provides a feature to strip unused code, and therefore the dll, for you.

Follow the steps below:

  • Select the menu Edit->Project Settings.
  • In the Project Settings dialog box, select Player.
  • In the Player select Other Settings.
  • Scroll down until the Optimization section.
  • Change the option Managed Striping Level in the dropdown list.

I strongly suggest to read the Unity official documentation Managed Code Stripping for further information.
