How do I delete custom Motion Templates?

I've created templates in motion to use in final cut pro, but i always tend to have multiple copies because of small errors i've made while creating them. So I'll have something like this

Wedding Credits.motn
Wedding Credits Better.motn
Wedding Credits Best.motn

How can I delete the first two templates from Motion and FCP?

MAC PRO QUAD CORE 2.66, Mac OS X (10.6.2), 8 GB Memory

In motion,
Choose File > Open Template.

The Template Browser opens.

Select your custom template folder in the left column under theme and then press delete on keyboard when you select the custom template that you created in the middle column under template

An alert dialog prompts you to confirm the deletion.

Click the Delete button.
Inside both motion and FCP your deleted custom template will be gone.
