    There is no hard limit. You are only limited by how large your graphics and if they will all fit into a reasonable amount of image atlases.

    I guess there is no fix for this "sprite is in use by some objects"? I cant even delete the the background and dark clouds sprites even though they not being used anywhere.

    quick question.
    Did you drop new images in the image place holder , background and clouds or just delete them from your scene, and side bar.?

    @playsgames6666 the dark clouds image i just deleted, the background image at first I replaced the image that was already there, but then I deleted the background totally and dragged in a new one. And i still cant remove them from the atlas. I now have an old background that im not even using cause i changed it but i can't get rid of the old one so its taking up an atlas on its own.

    Is that background image being used in the UI's ?

    @playsgames6666 no mate, it was just the background for the scene. But like i said even the dark clouds image that comes standard in the templates, i deleted that without replacing it and i still can't remove it. Not sure why it thinks it's being used.
    I also tried going to tools and clicked on remove unused images.

    There has to be a way to remove these images, surely.

    Thats a bugger hey, i have never had this problem, just read a lot of posts about it.
    Someone mentioned using BetterZip, if your comfortable with that, it works. and its a free trial.
    Played around with it to see how it goes and works well.
    But really it should just do it in BB
