Texture Profiler
Big projects with a huge number of assets have to face the optimization stage to improve performance and have acceptable FPS. An overview of the project's bottlenecks is given by Performance Profiler. However, Memory consumption displayed there is just a figure, and optimization activities need more details.
To clearly understand which assets can be optimized or deleted, Texture Profiler is used. Using this tool, you can see how much memory every texture used in the project takes, easily find it in Asset Browser, and delete or resize it. Texture Profiler also allows checking the texture resolution and sorting by memory size.
