Guides for Blender file dependencies

LinkedFiles answers a specific question: which saved .blend projects reference the file you selected? These guides explain that problem, the limits of a folder search, and what the Windows app does and does not report.

• Find which Blender projects use an asset

  Trace a texture, model, HDR, or other external file through a folder of .blend projects.

• Check a file before you delete it

  Use a project search to see references, and learn why “no results” is not proof a file is unused.

• How Blender asset dependencies work

  External images, packed data, linked libraries, relative paths, and missing textures.
