Deleting Templates in Pages.

I've upgraded to the most recent version yes.

I have been trying to delete my many files in Pages 20 to be exact and I needed someone to say just what you said I have now deleted them and will keep the steps in a save place thank you

open finder

open go

hold down left alt

open library

open apple support

open iwork

open pages

open templates

looks hard -but very easy just write down and remember thats the key

I delete templates in pages this way: In Pages, under File select New, then in the template chooser, go down to My Templates, control-click the template name, then choose rename or delete.

Hi gart,

Thanks for the update. The original post and all os the discussion up to your post refers to Pages 4.x (Pages '09) and earlier. The ability to delete templates using the steps you describe is a recent addition to Pages 5.x, the current version.

Regards,

Barry

Thank you russellfromedinburgh for this, your answer came to me from a Google Search and helped me very quickly. Thanks for posting.

Simple easy to use advice for a newbie like me.

I appreciate your taking the time to help 🙂

That's odd there is no "iWork" in library on my Macbook. What should I suppose to do? I can't delete my templates.

Always share what version of Pages that you are using because Pages '09 stores its templates in an entirely different location than does Pages v5.

In Pages '09, you had to visit the user templates location in your home Library/Application Support/iWork/Pages/Templates/My Templates folder. In Pages v5, you can rename, or delete your custom templates right from within the Templates Chooser — via right, or control-click. No need to know the Template folder location.

Brilliant thanks for the info pity there couldn't be an easier way to delete templates a simple delete button would save the hassle of searching for information .. Big Thanks Again .. Ant

Understand that the original post is now over four years old, and the OP discussion is for Pages '09 templates, and does not apply to Pages v5 templates.

For Pages v5 templates, choose new document, and under My Templates, right-click on the Template that you want to affect, and choose Rename, or Delete, as appropriate from the pop-up contextual menu.
