How do I delete exported templates from VS2019

Question

I have created a few custom templates and exported them. Now I want to remove them but they keep showing up in the Add New Item list.
I have deleted every instance of the exported template files that I can find, but the templates are still in listed. If I select on of them it throws up an error telling me it can't find it, so I assume this is just a reference held in configuration somewhere. How do I refresh or reset the config to remove the deleted templates?

Hi, @Les Ferguson

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

Please delete the template files you created in these two folders:

%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Visual Studio 2019\My Exported Templates  
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Visual Studio 2019\Templates(ItemTemplates or ProjectTemplates)  

After deletion, these template files will no longer appear in the list of Create a new project.

For template files, you can refer to this document

Sincerely,
Peng
