How to remove/uninstall item templates in Visual Studio 2010


I have an item template that I did wrong and want to delete. I deleted the zip file from the output location and ran devenv /installvstemplates and devenv /setup and when I opened VS and tried to add a new item it was still there. stranger still, I can still use it and create copies of the file, so it must exist somewhere. Is there somewhere that visual studio stores the files after being installed that I need to delete? I also cant change the template, it stays the same no matter what I do.

Edit: If it makes a difference I am using XNA GS 4.0


Solution

  • I finally found out what was happening. For some reason, when VS 2010 installed the templates it copied the zip file to my old 2008 folder. I can't imagine why it would do this but I've put it out there for anyone with the same problem.
