Delete OneNote Template? Template Manager?

Anonymous

I created a template in OneNote 2013 and named it incorrectly.  I would like to delete it from the list in My Templates, as I don't want to accidentally select it for use later.  How can I delete it?  It's been a while since I used OneNote (several years ago), but I seem to remember a Template Manager of sorts.  Is that still available in ON2013?  If so, how do I get to it?

Hi everyone,

Following up on this issue --

A fix was released with update 16.0.7466.2038 for OneNote 2016 on Nov 11 to resolve this matter. To download the update right away, open any Office app and click File > Account > Update Options > Update Now.

After you install the update, you should be running version 1610 (build 7466.2038). Please let us know if the Delete button is enabled again. We look forward to your confirmation on this thread.

Thank you for your patience,

Noyonima

For anyone interested...  I figured out a way to delete my template.  Using my nifty Surface Pro 3 pen, I selected the template in question (under My Templates drop down) and a menu appeared that allowed me to select "delete". 

Random button-pushing sometimes pans out....

    Great to know the My Template.one exists. By creating another Tab, I can better sort my templates as well. Thanks!

    Hello,

    Glad to know that you were able to fix the issue and thank you for posting the suggestions that have helped you as well. I am sure it would help others with the same issue.

    If you have any future issues, please get back to us and we will be happy to help you.

    Thank you.

    This is exactly what those of us here reporting a problem are unable to do. Delete is greyed out and there seems no way around that.

    Girish, I know I'm responding to an old ticket but I hope you do realize that the solution that was posted is only a work-around, not a solution to the problem. I have this issue as well and apparently a lot of people do. Have you guys come up with a solution/fix for this yet? I would be nice (and practical) to not have to go into templates file folder to delete them every time. Thanks.

    Joel
