I want to delete a save but it's telling me another save will be affected
I made a scene and decided to save some of the assets made in it as a new creation. I later decided I didn't want to use those assets afterall and was going to delete them but it's telling me the original scene will also be affected. Would that delete those assets out of the original scene as well? Why?
Neither are published, just local saves.

Once you save a selection as a separate object, it is removed from the scene and replaced with a reference to that new object. This is done to streamline the loading and editing of assets. It allows you to have reusable assets in many different scenes that can be updated from one source.
I haven't tried this, but maybe, just like with duplicating, if you tweak the object in the original scene, it'll be considered unique and break the reference. Maybe try it on a test scene first. -
It’s perfectly safe for you to delete the unwanted assets, nothing will be removed from your original Scene. The only thing that’s actually affected is your ability to use Update Mode :)
When you save a selection from a Scene as a new Element, it’s not replacing that selection with a reference, it’s simply creating a link for updating. If you go and make changes to the Element, you can then use Update Mode in the Scene and have those changes show. If you delete that separately save Element, then of course it cannot be updated in the Scene - but your Scene will still be intact as it was last saved. Nothing gets changed automatically.
I would suggest saving a private version online just for safe keeping ;) -
'@Pookachoo: Ooh! Interesting clarification. Thanks!
