Can you remove or put it in single file :confused:

They are used by the editor to keep track of references and links you setup between nodes and components.

A single file would probably be too tasking on performance for parsing.

Maybe all the meta files could be places under a /meta folder in the project?

It’s a bit of a git mess with these files, but otherwise you can just hide them in VS Code:
In .vscode/settings.json:

{
	"files.exclude": {
		"*.meta": true
	},
	"search.exclude": {
		"*.meta": true
	}
}

But yes, I agree it could probably be solved in another way.

Yeah, I agree, they mess up a lot my repos, in particular when I use git submodules…
I second Ronsku solution, mirroring the folder structure in a different place would be way better
