RPG Maker MZ won't deploy games when exclude unused files is checked

[Rose Guardian]

For some reason whenever I check exclude unused files to deploy my game it won't deploy and just gets stuck on the deploy loading screen. I am using the steam version of RPG Maker MZ and the latest version. It's a problem because I don't always know what files I will be using.

Not a user of RMMV. And I just did some searches here and there. It seems to have been reported since 2020 and with both RPGMaker MV and MZ.

One person did get it to eventually work after some time of it NOT working, and it turned out to be by the use of plugins. That is, one person who had the issue tried a fresh demo without plugins and found the feature working.

So, are there plugins within your project?

IF... that is an issue, might I suggest: Unused File Cleaner Its $10 apparently... but being ITCH... who knows if that's fixed.

Thank you DeeVVulfman. I'm going to save up and get the unused file cleaner. It seems like it's not plugins that are the problem that I am aware of it.
