Deleting a slide design template

I have created a new master template for use here at WaterAid, but in doing so had a number of false starts so I now have a couple of redundant templates in my available design templates that are not quite correct. How do I delete them?

RE: Deleting a slide design template

Hi John

Thank you for your question. If you have created a template you would like to remove then a quick way to do this is to first open PowerPoint then from the File menu choose New.

In the Task pane that appears click the "on my computer" link

A dialog box will appear and under the General tab you will find the templates you have created.

If you now right click on an icon you will get the option to delete it.

With any operation involving deleting information take extra care and make sure important information is backed up and the backup is readily accessible.

If your template is stored on the machine you are working on then the deleted file should go into the recycle bin. Templates stored on a network drive are deleted but not put in the recycle bin - so there is no way to restore the file other than using a backup.

I hope this helps - do let us know how you get on.

Kind regards,
Andrew
