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....

Hi everyone,

On behalf of the OneNote team I'd like to apologize for the inconvenience you've experienced as a result of the Delete button being disabled.

We logged this bug and followed up with the Engineering team - looks like this was fixed back in April with update 16.0.6927.2006, that you can manually get by clicking File> Update Options> Update now.

We strongly recommend you update, and let us know if you still continue to see the 'Delete' button disabled for custom template, so we can move to the next steps.

I'm still seeing the Delete button as greyed out.

I'm on version 16.0.6741.2071. I'm in the Deferred Channel so maybe this fix hasn't made it here.

As similar question on managing Templates if the Template is created by another user on the same oneNote, how are they managed?

Page Templates shows it as a CustomTemplate on my computer, but I have no ability to delete it or modify it? Do I just need to create my own and overwrite it?

In OneNote 2016, custom templates are saved into their own "Templates" notebook.
1. Locate this "Templates" notebook on your computer.
( C:\Users%USER%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft - As provided by the user Protocols )
1. Delete the templates you no longer want.
The available custom templates are automatically update to reflected your changes within this notebook
