### 8.2. Removing a previously defined document template

This dialog box also allows to remove user-defined document templates. In order to do this, simply click on a template in the "Existing document templates" list and then click on the Remove button.

Note that this operation takes immediate effect: clicking on the Cancel button of the "Save Document As Template" dialog box will not cancel the deletion of the template[26].

You can only remove the document templates you have created. You cannot remove predefined (grayed) document templates.

In the above screen shot, notice how removing user-defined template called "Refentry" would restore the predefined template having the same name.

[26] The Cancel button of the "Save Document As Template" dialog box just cancels the action of creating a new template.
