Delete a template

You can use the Delete Template option to delete templates that are not in use and to keep the private repository organized.

Prerequisites

Before you delete a template, review the following prerequisites:
  • Public workspace: You must have the Control Room administrator role or the Delete from Public permission at the folder level.
  • Dependent folders and files: You must have the Delete from Public permission on these folders and files.
  • Private workspace: You must have a Bot Creator or Citizen Developer license.
    Important:
    • You cannot delete a template if it is referenced by other templates or automations. You must first remove the references before deleting the template.
