How to Delete a Template

mitchkenn · 03-29-2017, 04:38 PM

i created a template, no longer need it. Is there a way to delete it? Doesn't seem to be stored in the "templates" folder when i looked. Probably pretty obvious, but any help is appreciated.

They're in the "world_templates" folder.

you can always search file names on your computer... since oyu know the directory you can even point in the right direction to save time on the search.

your league is not likely spelled like anything else on your computer... if it comes up wiht more than a few matches, you have a very generic name, lol.

also, you don't even need to full name... just enough of it to be unique relative to other file names on your pc.

weird. did a computer search - never finds the file. looked in world_templates. only default there. But i can call the file up to add it to a league, just can't delete it. Hmmmmm. Oh well. i can create a new one - or create a new league and call up old template and edit it to see if it'll work. thanks for heads-up and all.

no idea why they never showed up in a search--- but i found them..... i thought they'd be in my Documents folder with other saved stuff. Nope. They were in my OOTP main folder. But right where they were supposed to be world_templates. Again, thanks to both of you guys. REALLY do appreciate the help.
