# Deleting Templates

Unnecessary or unused templates can be easily deleted by using the template context menu by right-clicking on the Template you want to delete and click on the ![](https://snowowl.atlassian.net/wiki/download/attachments/775618639/04.png?version=1\&modificationDate=1605199982679\&cacheVersion=1\&api=v2) option.

Deletion also could be done via Console command. In order to execute that, open the **Console View**, and in its toolbar, select the **`Host OSGi console`** option.

Here one of the following codes can be entered.

```
//This will delete all the Templates that are available
snowowl templates delete --all
```

```
//This will delete only the defined Template
snowowl templates delete -t <templateid>
```
