Zipped backup project duplicated files

Questions & Answers

Hi, I’ve zipped my unity3d project many times, in order to create backup files…

Now i’ve realised that if I unzip a project and open it with unity3d, it returns me a lot of errors, like:

  • Scripts named ‘XXX.cs’ exist in multiple locations (Assets/Scripts/XXX.cs). Please rename one of the scripts to a unique name.

  • Rebuilding GUID cache: Deleting metadata Assets/Scripts/XXX.cs because the asset doesn’t exist anymore.
    MetaData path library/metadata/77/779e8469e0244bf4b8073bfd5731b0a5

In fact I’ve noticed that in the Unity Project tab the files are duplicated, one is in a folder, the other one in a subfolder…

I’ve never moved files using windows explorer.

So how could I fix the situation?

So is it not a great idea to zip unity project?

Thanks in advance

You have unziped you files inside your project folder. Unzip it in a different locayion and you’ll have no problems.

ohhhh, the problem was that I created everytime a zip file with the same name, and it merges the files…

Sorry, my mistake … :slight_smile:
