How to Delete Templates From Flash

Templates provide a quick and easy way for both beginners and professionals to start new Adobe Flash projects. Unfortunately, the program does not provide obvious ways to delete templates. This can cause problems after months of regular use, with template libraries growing in size and individual templates becoming more difficult to find. Luckily, deleting some or all of your Adobe Flash templates is quick and easy.

Instructions

1. Open your Documents and Settings folder. Double-click the "My Computer" icon (labeled "Computer" in Windows Vista or Windows 7) on your desktop. Double-click the C drive icon. Open the "Documents and Settings" folder. Double-click the folder labeled with your user name.

2. Find your Adobe Flash templates. Click through to the following folders: "Local Settings" > "Application Data" > "Adobe" > "Flash CS4" (your version number may vary) > "En" > "Configuration" > "Templates."

3. Delete the template. Find the template you want to delete. Right-click its icon and select "Delete." If Windows asks you to confirm the deletion, click "Yes."

4. Confirm your changes. Restart Adobe Flash. Click "File" in the menu bar at the top of the screen. Select "New." Click the "Templates" tab at the top of the dialog box. The template you deleted in the previous step will no longer appear in the list.
