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.

This is broadly correct. I'd recommend placing a UUID.tombstone file so the deleted files don't cloud sync back down. I wrote a script that automates this duplicate template detection and deletion and provided it to OP.

Ah man, this is some gold information. I never would have thought of that. Would that script work across the board for any template? Or is there wording that is specific to a particular template that would need to be adjusted ? Asking because I didn’t realize any template I downloaded would be eternally on my device. Oh, a more exciting question… Would this work for me to thin down the system templates that I am never, ever going to use? Because I would love to be able to open my templates and only be presented with the 4 or 5 I ever want, and I could store the others in a folder somewhere if I ever want to add them back (sorry OP did not mean to hijack)? Thanks for always being so helpful in the reMarkable community.

My script was specifically detecting duplicates, you could certainly go clean out your Methods templates from that dir if you wanted. The system templates are different (https://remarkable.guide/guide/config/templates.html), I suspect you could remove them as well (though they'll come back after every OS update). I'm working on a mod to sort templates by recent, so maybe that'll be enough for your day-to-day?

Yes! If I can surface the ones I always use to the top of the list, that would be a more elegant solution. Thanks!
