You open the folder from the Finder and you move unwanted items to the trash.


Under 10.7.x, the folder embedding the templates folder : Library from User Domain is hidden.

Press option key while triggering the Finder menu entitled "Go To"


My preferred scheme is to run this script :


do shell script "chflags nohidden ~/Library"


which will unhide the folder.

Perfectly wrong !

If you don't search where you are urged to do we can't not help you.

In English, Bibliothèque is spelled Library.

The premade templates (the ones delivered by Apple) are embedded in the application itself.

Hello


It makes no difference.


The application create the folder Templates and its subfolder My Templates in the Library folder of the User account.

Macintosh HD:Users:<userAccount>:Library:Application Support:iWork:Pages:Templates:My Templates:

Macintosh HD:Users:<userAccount>:Library:Application Support:iWork:Numbers:Templates:My Templates:

Macintosh HD:Users:<userAccount>:Library:Application Support:iWork:Keynote:Themes:

Keynote which was the 1st application doesn't use a subfolder My Themes.


As long as we don't create a custom template, there is no folder Templates and of course no subfolder My Templates.

When we save our first custom template with the defaults settings, the app create the folder and its subfolder.

Of course I may imagine that an user deleted the subfolder but in this case, I guess that he would not be asking about it here.
