Deleting Templates

You can delete templates that you created. You cannot delete the standard templates that came with your theme, but you can reset their changes or change the template a page uses.

While in the Site Editor, navigate to Templates → All templates to view a list of your site’s templates. Templates you created will show your name, while templates from your theme will show the theme name:

Templates included with the theme and a template created by the site owner.
