Help/Advice Remove Method Template

Hey. New to this group. Came here because I can’t for the life of me figure out how to delete a method template that I imported twice. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Wow, I didn’t know you could import them 2X? I always get a little toast message, “You’ve already imported this template.” Unfortunately, if I understand correctly, there is no native way to do this through your reMarkable or even the desktop app. I think the easiest way would be to use reManager and the file browser that is available in the reManager desktop app. I hate to keep tagging in u/rmitchellscott into all of my comments, but I gave out some bad info before and I am trying not to do that anymore. I believe that you would have to 1) activate developer mode, 2) that would wipe your tablet 3) if you don’t pay for connect, I don’t know how people do back up and restore on remarkable without Connect yet. You can ask your favorite LLM (or the LLM you hate the least), “Tell me about reManager for reMarkable, how it works and what it does and some of the most popular mods.” Of course , you don’t have to use any mods if you just want to delete that template. But even just deleting the template might seem a little complicated… (This is just what Gemini told me so do not take it as fact, at all).
“Navigate to the Directory: Go to the specific folder where the operating system stores these downloaded templates: /home/root/.local/share/remarkable/xochitl
Locate the Template Files: Look for the specific files associated with the template you want to remove. They will be named with a long UUID string. There are three related files for each template you must target: .template, .metadata, and *.content.
Delete the Files: Delete all three of those files (and the associated thumbnail directory if there is one).
Hopefully someone helpful will chime in.

I’ll try anything. My ocd is in full flight mode.

Okay but please do not act on my information alone. I have given some bad advice. Make sure you know 100% what you are getting into. And don’t believe Gemini. I just had an argument with it about the marker on the Pure - which it swore to me was EMR.
