The Naviswork plugin offers two options for exporting to Unity.If you still have problems and the machine has been left on for days or weeks then a restart of the machine may also be a good idea. Save the project, restart Revit, reopen the file and try to export.

Does Revit needs a restart?

You may want to open each individual linked file and purge it until there is nothing left to purge this may take two or three passes.
