How do I delete templates in Numbers?

I have several old templates saved in my numbers program and cannot figure out how to delete them. Help!

Hi medchanic,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. Your profile does not show your products, so I do not know if you are using Mac OSX or iDevice iOS operating systems. As this is the Numbers for OSX, I shall answer for OSX.
Numbers stores your custom templates in the My Templates folder. To find that folder, use the Go menu in Finder and hold down the option/aly key. Library will appear in the menu choices. Choose Library then navigate to:
Application Support > iWork > Numbers > Templates > My Templates
The path is shown at the bottom of my Library Folder window:
Click on an unwanted template and send it to the Trash.
I do not know why the operating system hides custom templates. After all, they are my templates!
Another way to control your custom templates is to open one in Numbers, change it, and then File > Save as Template... with the same name. That will replace the old template with the revised version.
Regards,
Ian.

  • How can I delete templates on numbers?

    First visit to Apple Support Communities - I have downloaded data from financial institution which includes the date formated, for example, Nov 6, 2012 after the spread sheet is opened with Numbers.  Using the inspector > cell > date > format "01/05/09 " , the cells in the spread sheet with the dates all become "01/05/09" . . .  and not "11/06/12".
    I am concerned that I have set up a bad templete dictating this erroneous result and would like to delete the templete.  Please advise on this point.
    Any other suggestions would be welcomed.

    Hi papa T,
    I doubt that a 'bad template' is the cause of this strange issue.
    Leaving that aside, here is the path to deleting templates that you have created and saved:
    Close Numbers. Go to the Finder.
    In the Finder, press the option key, go to the Go menu and choose Library.
    This puts you in your user Library—note that OS X maintains several Libraries, one for itself and one for each user account on the computer.
    From your Library, open:
    Application Support > iWork > Numbers > Templates > My Templates.
    In My Templates, select one or more templates, then press command-delete to move the selected templates to the Trash.
    Empty the Trash to permanently delete these templates (and anything else that has been moved to the Trash).

  • How do you delete templates in Pages?

    How do you delete templates in Pages?

    Hi Lilly,
    If you mean "My Templates" they are in a hidden folder.
    In Finder, open the Go menu and hold down the option key (alt) in order to see the user library folder.
    Open the library folder and navigate to:
    Library/Application Support/iWork/Pages/Templates/My Templates.
    Select a template then drag it to the Trash (or command-delete).
    Having gone to all that trouble to find that hidden folder, single click to select My Templates folder, then
    Menu > File > Make Alias
    An Alias folder appears. Rename it to something such as "My Templates Pages alias" then drag it out of My Templates folder to somewhere convenient (maybe the Desktop will do for now).
    You can now close all those folders that you navigated through because the Alias (double click on it) is a quick way to go there again.
    Repeat this process for other iWork apps such as Numbers.
    Another way to manage your templates is to open one, make changes, then Save As Template with the original name of that template. The new template will replace the old one.
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • How can I delete templates from MY TEMPLATES in Pages?

    How can I delete templates from MY TEMPLATES i Pages?

    Pages stores those you created & saved as templates in (your account) > Library > Application Support > iWork > Pages > Templates > My Templates. The user's Library is hidden in Lion & Mountain Lion but it is easy to open. In Finder, hold down the Option key while clicking on the Go menu & your user Library will appear about halfway down the list. Or you can choose Go to Folder from Go menu in Finder & paste this line in the box:
    ~/Library/Application Support/iWork/Numbers/Templates/My Templates/

  • How do I delete templates in pages

    how do I delete templates thatI have created in pages

    Hi phase one,
    Same way you delete any other file: Locate the file, select it, then do one of three things:
    Drag it to the Trash,
    Go File > Move to Trash
    Press command-delete.
    With Templates, the tricky part is the first step: Locate the file.
    In the Finder:
    Press and hold the option (alt) key as you go to the Go menu and select Library.
    From Library, open each of these folders in turm:
    Library > Application Support > iWork > Pages > Templates > My Templates.
    Select the template file(s) you wish to remove, and move them to the Trash using one of the three methods above,
    Regards,
    Barry
    PS: Files moved to the Trash can still be recovered by drgging them out of the Trash. They're not actually removed until you Empty the Trash, an item found in the Finder's Application menu (named Finder).

  • How do I delete templates in pages09

    How do I delete templates that I created and now would like to delete stored in Pages 09
    Thank you
    beverlyfromjackson

    In Finder, navigate to your user’s Library -> Application Support -> iWork -> Pages -> Templates folder. Then select the templates you want to remove and delete them. My recommendation though is if you want to archive them create a folder in your Documents folder for them and move them there, that way if you ever need them again you can easily move them back.

  • How do I delete Templates?  I search for the templates with finder, in library, applications, logic, project templates. But, I can't find my templates there.

    How do I delet templates? I can`t find the templates with finder. I try in Libary, applications, Logic, Project templates. But, I can`t find my templates there. I find Logics templates, compose, explore and produce.

    Hi
    Note that in Lion OS, the User Library is hidden by default.
    Use the Finder:Go Menu (hold down Option to add the User Library to the menu).

  • How to rename/delete templates in Pages 5.0?

    Newbie to Pages here... made the jump when I upgraded to Mavericks.  I've found the old solution of going to Library>Application Support>iWork for previous versions of Pages to rename or delete templates, but that solution does not work in Mavericks and/or Pages 5.0.  There simply is not a folder there for iWork now.
    Anyone figure this out yet? 

    In your Library there's a folder called Containers and in there you'll find a container called  com.apple.iWork.Pages and a similar package for Numbers and Keynote after you've run them. Open the package (right click and select Show Package contents) and then Open the Data folder. Inside there you'll find a Library folder, open it and then open the Application Support folder and then User Templates. (Don't ask how I found it)
    Lots of the templates I just trashed either because I never use them or I knew they wouldn't translate well. (Any that used linked textboxes are toast.) That left me with a group that were too old to open in the new version of Pages. I opened them with Pages '09 and resaved them as templates and that took care of it.

  • How can I delete my old numbers on Caller ID?

    Hello, I'm trying to delete my old numbers on Caller ID,
    some can be but some cannot be deleted.
    With numbers which cannot be deleted, there is this sentence;
    "Registered to your device"
    and "delete" link is gray, I cannot click it.

    I have tried as well to delete an old number that I no longer use or have but the delete key on the website is grayed out.  Is something wrong with the site or how can this be deleted.  I currently have bought two skype numbers.  The third on was an old number.

  • How do i delete cells in numbers

    How do I delete cells in Numbers

    Delete as in "delete the contents of"?  Select the cell and hit Delete
    Delete as in it goes away and other cells shift into its place? Not a feature of Numbers. You can delete an entire column or row but not a single cell.  You can select surrounding cells and move them up or over one cell, thereby overwriting the cell to be "deleted".

  • Deleting Templates from Numbers

    Is it possible to edit or delete templates from My Template Chooser in Numbers?

    You will navigate to a folder where your custom templates are kept, select and Delete the template.
    In Finder, click on the Go menu (top line). While the Go menu items are displayed, press the Option/Alt key. This will reveal a normally hidden choice, "Library", about half way down the list. Choose this item.
    A Finder window will open and you will then choose this path:
    Application Support > iWork > Numbers > Templates > My Templates.
    Identify your template and delete it (Move to Trash).

  • How do I delete templates I have made in error in IBA?

    Hi, I am try to write a book and in trying to standardise Sections made templates.  How do I these delete templates I have made in error in IBA?

    Use iBA's menu for 'File/Save As Template'...when that dialog opens, make a note of the location/path, which begins in the /Library folder and ends in /My Templates.
    In the Finder, use the 'Go To' menu with the option key pressed and choose /Library from there...drill down to the iBA 'MyTemplates' folder, find the template you want to delete and drag it to the trash.
    Good luck.

  • How do I delete duplicates in numbers

    how do i delete duplicates in numbers

    Hi Christy1776,
    There are ways to do this with formulas and extra columns and such, but what I do is just make a simple menu pick:
    Select the range of cells containing possible duplicates, make the menu pick, then paste the distinct (deduplicated) values wherever you want in a table by single-clicking a cell and typing command-v to paste.
    You can add this to your Services menu by downloading a Copy Distinct Automator Service (Dropbox download) and double-clicking the workflow document to install.  That's it. The functionality is then available whenever you need it via a simple menu pick.  No formulas, no fuss.

  • How do I delete templates I made in the new Pages?

    I accidentally created a new template in the new Pages I want to remove it from My Templates.  How do I do that?

    Launch Pages v5.2.2, and choose new document. In My Templates, select the template you want to remove. Right-click on it, and from the contextual menu, choose delete. Now cancel your new document effort, and quit Pages.
