## Uninstalling
If you want to remove a template you must make sure that it is not being used.
You should check that the template is not being used by any qubes,
and also that it is not set as the default template.
The procedure for uninstalling a template depends on how it was created.
If the template was originaly created by cloning another template, then you can
delete it the same way as you would any other qube. In the Qube Manager,
right-click on the template and select **Delete qube**. (If you're not sure,
you can safely try this method first to see if it works.)
If, on the other hand, the template came pre-installed or was installed by
installing a template package in dom0, per the instructions
[above](#installing), then you must execute the following type of command in
dom0 in order to uninstall it:
To remove a template, the graphical `Qube Manager` (Qubes Menu > Qubes Tools > Qube Manager) may be used. Right-click the template to be uninstalled and click "Delete qube" to begin removal. If no issues are found, a dialog box will request the template's name be typed as a final confirmation. Upon completion, the template will be deleted.
Alternatively, to remove a template via the command line in dom0:
```
$ sudo dnf remove qubes-template-<DISTRO_NAME>-<RELEASE_NUMBER>
$ qvm-template remove <TEMPLATE_NAME>
```
`qubes-template-<DISTRO_NAME>-<RELEASE_NUMBER>` is the name of the desired
template package.
You may see warning messages like the following:
\<TEMPLATE_NAME> is the first column from the output of:
```

$ qvm-template list --installed
```
These are normal and expected. Nothing is wrong, and no action is required to
address these warnings.
In either case, issues with template removal may be raised. If an issue is raised, the template will remain installed and a list of concerns displayed. "Global property default_template" requires [switching](#switching) the default_template property to another template. "Template for" can be resolved by [switching](#switching) the dependent qubes' template. Once the issues are addressed, attempt the removal again.
If the uninstallation command doesn't work, pay close attention to
any error message: it may tell you what qube is using the template,
or if the template is default. In other cases, please see [VM Troubleshooting](/doc/vm-troubleshooting/).
If the Applications Menu entry doesn't go away after you uninstall a template,
execute the following type of command in dom0:
```
$ rm ~/.local/share/applications/<TEMPLATE_NAME>
```
Applications Menu entries for backups of removed qubes can also be found in
`/usr/local/share/applications/` of dom0.
```
$ rm /usr/local/share/applications/<TEMPLATE_NAME>
```
If the template's entry in the Qubes Menu is not removed with its uninstallation, consult the [troubleshooting page](/doc/app-menu-shortcut-troubleshooting/#fixing-shortcuts).
