3. In the Hierarchy window select the "PointCloudCreator" GameObject
4. In the Inspector window under the "Point Cloud Creator" Component press the "Show" Button
5. Enter Play Mode
Expected result: Hidden particle system is unloaded when entering Play Mode

Could not test in 2018.4 due to the Project breaking when downgrading

-In the Hierarchy window there is "PointCloudCreator" GameObject with a "PointCloudCreator" component with a custom Inspector where you can show or hide a random point cloud in Editor Mode

Resolution Note:
When something is marked as HideAndDontSave it is now under the control of the script. Unity will not delete or unload that asset even when entering/exiting play mode or changing scenes. Objects created as HideAndDontSave must be explicitly destroyed by the owner of the object.
