Way to delete unused Session Templates?

[jonwb]

Hi... seems like when I delete them they just return after a few hours.

Is there any way to delete them permanently?

First are talking about the default PT templates or user defined templates
And second exactly where are trying to delete them from ,, and how are you deleting them ?

No mention of what OS the OP is using, but on macOS the default location for PT templates is /Users/[username]/Documents/Pro Tools/Session Templates/.
This path can of course be changed in the PT preferences.

Sorry... haven't posted in a while.

PT 12.4, Windows 11, Default templates in Documents section.
\Users\Administrator\Documents\Pro Tools\Session Templates

They're from 2015 and I'll never use the majority of them. I simply delete them individually or delete the folders they're in. They just come back.

Windows>Program Files>Avid>Factory Content>Session Templates

Not at my computer, but that should be the address. I've found that if a Template is deleted from the folder in Documents, but not from Factory Content, then it automagically comes back.

Also, you can't nest folders within a primary template folder, the templates just all show up as if they were in one folder.

Brilliant! Worked like a charm. Just deleted the factory templates in the main Avid folder and they never reappeared. Thanks!

yep works for Mac as well

Right Click PT in applications > click - Show Package Contents > click - Contents folder > click - Shared Support folder > click -Factory Content folder > click- Session Templates folder > move templates folders to trash
