I have several custom templates in the my templates/templates chooser. How do I remove and/or delete them?

Hi Muizen,
Your remark that Yvan's "remarks are completely useless to (you)" may be correct, but that's hardly his fault.
Your question was posted in the Numbers community, a place for discussions of issues and techniques specific to the Apple spreadsheet application Numbers, part of the iWork set.
This community is one of several at the Apple Support Communities site, a place for discussion of technical issues specific to Apple hardware and software.
Your question regarding removing unwanted templates, posted in the middle of a discussion of Numbers templates (with a side trip to templates made with Pages, the word processing and page layout application that is also part of the iWork set) contained no reference to any application other than Numbers having produced those templates.
Yvan may have added 'unclearness' to your understanding of the issue, but the origin of that unclearness is your initial post. In case you've forgotten it, here is that post again, quoted in its entirety:
"Hi Edgar,
I am struggling to remove custom templates that I don't need.
The advise is:
Use the Finder to navigate to the templates and send them to the trash. Look in:
Username/Library/Application Support/iWork/Numbers/Templates/My Templates.
However after Application Support iWork does not show up.
Do you have a solution?"
Where in that post do you make it clear that the custom templates you are talking about are "MS Word" templates? Where do you even mention that fact?
In your most recent post you state: "I tried this approach but reported that there is no iWork in my system."
Actually, you did not report "there is no iWork in (your) system,"t. You did report that "iWork does not show up" when you followed the path given.
You had made no mention to that time that iWork was not installed on your computer, and the fact that you had posted a question about removing templates in a forum(and in a discussion thread) specifically for one of the iWork applications would lead any reasonably intelligent reader to assume that the application was on your computer, and that, like the other users in this discussion, you were asking about Numbers templates, or at least about templates for one of the iWork applications.
Given that assumption, and given that the supplied path was the correct path to a user's custom templates for numbers, the most likely explanation of iWork's name missing from the path would be the one Yvan assumed—a misstep by the user at the beginning of the path.
