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....

    [SOLUTION INCLUDED]

    Hi

    Like others on here Delete is now greyed out as in not enabled. This wasn't an issue in past versions and despite clearing cache, restarting and repairing it is still grey. This happened after I deleted a template the standard way only for all remaining templates to be read only. This is definitely a OneNote 2016 issue and I really don't want to have to reinstall all of office for this.

    Unbelievable there isn't even COM access to templates and the add on support for OneNote is none-existent.

    Solution

    • Go to C:\Users%USER%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates
    • Open My Templates.one
    • Delete the pages you don't need, as a result those templates will be removed from My Templates expander.

    Thank you for the solution offered. Unfortunately, is does not work. When My Templates.one is opened, it opens OneNote and we have the same problem we started with - the Delete option is greyed out. If you have another solution, please add it.

    This Did Not Work !!

    Checked for Updates and Updated - Only Advanced to 7369.2118 not 7466.2038

    Checked Again - "The latest version is installed"

    Delete Button is Still Greyed Out
