I have updated my project from Unity 4.2 to Unity 4.31. And my project folder has significantly grown by that. From 2.65 to 3.18 gb. I also notice that the folders are flooded with *.meta files now for the same folders that doesn`t have such *.meta files in Unity 4.2. Which makes navigation in this folders through windows explorer more cumbersome.

Just curious, what is going on here? Why is Unity 4.31 blowing up my project folder? Is this normal? And what about those *.meta files?

Am i really the only one who sees a this massive file size increase for the project folder?

Have it. ´Twas the bug in front of the screen. I made a build and run to test the performance after upgrading. And forgot to remove the exe afterwards from the project hierarchy. That was the 500 mb filesize increase … :roll_eyes:
