### R4.0
When a template is marked as 'installed by package manager', but cannot be uninstalled there, trying to uninstall manually will result in the error "ERROR: VM installed by package manager: template-vm-name". Do as follows to be able to uninstall the template:
1. Check the state of `installed_by_rpm`
$ qvm-prefs template-vm-name
2. If `installed_by_rpm - True]`, mark the template as not installed by package manager
$ qvm-prefs template-vm-name installed_by_rpm false
3. Re-check the state of `installed_by_rpm`
- If `installed_by_rpm - False`, remove the template like you would a regular qube:
$ qvm-remove template-vm-name
- If `installed_by_rpm` remains `True`, reboot your computer to bring qubes.xml in sync with qubesd, and try again to remove the template.
