Since we need to install templates in 1.6 (in 1.0 and 1.5 I uploaded them with FTP), I expect I can uninstall a template. How can I do this?

Go to template manager and make sure the template to be removed in NOT the default.

Select the template and hit the delete icon, to right.

That gives the error: Cannot delete last style of a template. The delete button only shows with the Styles tab, not with the Template tab

you need to make default another template default style, then you go to extension manager - manage and you can uninstall template like in 1.5 ... but you need another one to set as default style

I understand how it should work, but it doesn't. It may be a bug, I'll try it another time. For now I have removed the Style with phpMyAdmin.

Thanks, Tom

what is your problem ? that when you want to uninstall it says ... you can not delete last style ? Do you have another style there makred '' default '' ? check it again

Yes I had another Style marked Default (Atomic).

Go to extension manager ... click "manage Extensions" ... you will see ALL of your various templates, plugins, extensions, etc. listed.

Tick your template - then in the upper right click 'Uninstall'

Yes, that's the way it works .

Thanks, Tom
(being a beginner again feels somewhat strange, but I do like 1.6 )

Also found your tip helpful, BUT, they still show up in the template manager. They are all called 'Default" in the title but I have only one set as the site default. I REALLY don't want a bunch of templates that I will not be using to be taking up space in my template manager page. They are useless junk at this point. Thanks.

Well,

I did exactly like you , and everyithing is fine.
I still think we should be able to remove them from the 'manage templates' location, but, as long as it works...
Best regards,
Franck

thanks for share.

Thank you, I have had the same problem and finally I can solve it!!!

Hey Tom! Thanks for the tip. While this may be a workaround for 1.6 it works, and that's what matters to me!
